Abstract

An analysis of the road traffic head Injury admissions to the Neurosurgery Wards at Groote Schuur Hospital over two 6-month periods showed a considerable decrease during the second period when the new speed restrictions were in force. This decrease coincided with changes in the pattern of road traffic crashes in the area drained by Groote Schuur Hospital.
