abstract="Speed is an important risk factor for road traf c crashes. We studied the prevalence of speeding in three major cities in Southeast Asia (Bandung, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City-HCMC), and factors associated with it. The study was conducted between July 2015-September 2016 using a standardized protocol and data collection tool. Observation locations were selected through systematic sampling. Speed was measured using a microwave radar gun on weekdays and weekends, and 5 times during each day. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis was done separately for each city. 623,744 vehicles were observed (Bangkok:61.8%; Bandung:36.0% and HCMC:2.2%). 21.8% vehicles were found to be speeding across the three cities. The prevalence of speeding was 7.8% in Bandung, 30.7% in Bangkok, and 1.9% in HCMC. When adjusted for other variables, compared to motorcycles, SUVs were more likely to be speeding in Bandung (aOR:1.97); large trucks (aOR:7.69) in Bangkok; and light trucks in HCMC (aOR:2.39). In Bandung, speeding was mostly observed in the peri-urban parts of the city (94.5%). Speed was likely to be highest during non-peak hours of the day in HCMC (aOR:3.08). High prevalence of speeding was observed in the three cities, making this an important risk factor for road safety in urban Southeast Asia. <br><br>FINDINGS, especially with regards to variations by vehicle type, times of day, days of week, and types of roads would be useful for city governments and traf c police to better plan strategies to improve road safety in these cities.
