This test is similar to the Euro NCAP Medium Severity and IIHS tests, but they have a lower speed and peak acceleration of 16 km/h (9.9 mph) and 10 G, respectively. The Euro NCAP Low and High Severity tests have different waveform shapes and lower peak acceleration, despite the latter having a higher speed differential of 24 km/h (15 mph).
The legislation required 55 mph (89 km/h) speed limits on all four-lane divided highways unless the road had a lower limit before November 1, 1973. In some cases, like the New York State Thruway, the 50 mph (80 km/h) speed limit had to be raised to comply with the law. The law capped speed limits at 55 mph (89 km/h) on all other roads. [18]
<10 mph (16 km/h) not allowed: Class 1: 10 mph (16 km/h) 15 mph (24 km/h) Much yard, branch line, short line, and industrial spur trackage falls into this category. Class 2: 25 mph (40 km/h) 30 mph (48 km/h) Branch lines, secondary main lines, many regional railroads, and some tourist operations frequently fall into this class.
Research in 1998 showed that the reduction of some 30 mph (48 km/h) United Kingdom speed limits to 20 mph (32 km/h) had achieved only a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) drop in speeds and no discernible reduction in accidents; 20 mph (32 km/h) speed limit zones, which use self-enforcing traffic calming, achieved average speed reductions of 10 mph (16 km/h ...
The D-558-1 #1 Skystreak's record lasted 5 days, and was broken by then-Lieutenant Colonel Marion Carl, USMC, going 10 mph (16 km/h; 8.7 kn) faster in D-558-1 #2, BuNo 37971. This aircraft was delivered to the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit in April 1949 after 101 flights had been completed by the Navy, Air Force, and Douglas.
