The great majority of vehicles transgress speed limits in Xalapa, Veracruz. Our results support the urgent need to implement speed control measures in the city. Changes in road infrastructure design, as well as promoting a comprehensive speeding legislation (with adequate speed limits and correctly enforced) aimed at reducing exposure to this key risk factor are recommended. As evaluation of road safety interventions is key, our data could be used as a baseline to evaluate the effects and impact of future interventions implemented in this Mexican city.
