Raising speed limits on highways could lead to more crashes on nearby roads, according to research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. This "Spillover Effect" creates unintended safety hazards for local communities that might not be involved in the decision-making process to raise the posted speed limit on a nearby highway.

Dr. William J. Horrey, Technical Director for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, joins Carl for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. Dr. Horrey shares the Foundation's research on Spillover Effects, including how "Hot Spot" analyses can provide new insights for road safety. Meanwhile, Carl takes us back to rural Iowa and imagines how Spillover Effects might impact his former home.
