Motor vehicle crash data came from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Israel.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Between January 1988 and December 1999, a total of 6029 persons were killed and 45 616 were seriously injured on roads in Israel. For all roads combined, the time series ARIMA model indicated that there were 4.69 more deaths per month (p&lt;0.001), or 347 more than expected in the post-intervention period. Case-fatality rate (CFR) on all roads combined rose significantly (p&lt;0.001). Modified case-fatality rate (CFRS) showed an increase of 2.5 deaths per 100 serious casualties (p&lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The impact of raised speed limits was immediate and sustained. The largest increase in deaths occurred on interurban roads but a spillover effect was observed on urban roads as well. The increases in deaths and case-fatality rates persisted six years after the speed limit change despite major countermeasures and increasing congestion throughout the period of follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2006.014027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,14]],"date-time":"2007-06-14T02:34:45Z","timestamp":1181788485000},"page":"156-161","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Raised speed limits, case fatality and road deaths: a six year follow-up using ARIMA models"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lee S","family":"Friedman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Barach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elihu D","family":"Richter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092504530802000_13.3.156.1","first-page":"40","volume":"345","year":"1995","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2025092504530802000_13.3.156.2","unstructured":"National Research Council. 55 MPH: A Decade of Experience 1984."},{"key":"2025092504530802000_13.3.156.3","unstructured":"Evans L.
