Amongst these human errors, there is wide scientific evidence about the fact that speeding is the most contributing factor to risk, severity, and fatality of motor vehicle collisions. A major factor is due to human error (distraction, driving under the influence, drowsiness, inattention, drunkenness, speeding). The causes of car accidents are mostly classified into three factors (automotive, environmental or infrastructure, and human). Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5 - 29 years. Īccording to collected statistics, 93% of the world’s fatalities on roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately 60% of the world’s vehicles. Although the number of lives lost in road accidents in high-income countries indicates a downward trend in recent decades, for most of the world’s population, the burden of road traffic injury in terms of societal and economic costs is still rising substantially. Motorization has enhanced the lives of many individuals and societies, but the benefits have come with a price. The review revealed that the included articles on speed enforcement on the highway were limited to sanctioning defaulters for fine payments. Finally, 15 relevant studies were included in the study. A total of 61 and 40 articles were screened from abstract and full pdf text respectively. The results show that of 658 retried articles, duplicates of 458 were excluded and 200 were screened. The details of the research articles were generated using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flow chart. Furthermore, references of selected articles were reviewed to maximize the rate of articles found. A systematic search was performed in Science Direct, Elsevier, google scholar, scientific research, and Springer, ResearchGate, Scopus, and PubMed databases. The review is aimed at examining the different enforcement approaches used to control and monitor excessive speeds on highways at large and particularly in Cameroon. Nowadays, speed reduction is mainly achieved through speed law enforcement measures. Of these casualties, speeding is a substantial con tributing factor.
Road safety is still an important issue with road accidents among the leading causes of death accounting for more than 1.2 million fatalities and 50 million injuries globally per year.
