abstract="On the basis of facts of the investigation and medical as well as technical experts' opinion on traffic accidents that happened between cars and pedestrians in Budapest in 1986, the authors studied the role of the travelling speed and collision speed in the severity of injuries suffered. They concluded that a 20% reduction of the 60 km per hour speed limit currently valid in inhabited areas in Hungary, i.e. compliance with the European standard, would reduce the number of fatal traffic accidents by as much as 40%, and the mean severity score of injuries suffered would decrease from ISS 26.90 to ISS 19.96.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
