ShLOW Award Ceremony

On 23 of February ETSC held the final event of the ShLOW project: the conference entitled "Future Directions in Speed Management". which was also the occasion to give an award to the three winner of the project:

Petter Naef, Katarina Hedman, and Madelein Johansson from the University of Malmö won the 3rd Prize. They convinced the Post in Malmö to let them run a speed awareness training with 200 of their fleet drivers. José López Sánchez from the University of Granada won the second Prize. José convinced the local town of Albox in Spain to install his infrastructure project aimed at creating the illusion of narrower road lanes through thick road markings.

Finally the big winner was Per Wulf from the Medical University of Hannover in Germany who won the First prize. Per convinced the city of Hannover to trial an infrastructure measure that helps communicate how a 30km/h speed limit offers much safer braking distances than a 50 km/h limit on a road near a school, with the help of special road markings. All students conducted before and after speed measurements and demonstrated marked speed reductions thanks to their actions.
