Project Title
To deduce the average speed of cars traveling to and from a designated area in School N and
to determine the average numbers of drivers who follow the speed limit set by the school
management.
Introduction
Students at school N, travel to school by various transportation modes. The school consists
The speed limit at School N was set at 10 km/h. The school management has set this speed
limit for students who travel by car to ensure that safety is maximized, however it is common
that cars will break the speed limit for various reasons. It seems that the average amount of
commuters has problems with the speed limit as there has been a recent occurrence of
The aim of the project is to determine the average speed of cars travelling to and out of a
designated zone at the school and the data collected will be later used to deduce the average
number of drivers following the speed limit. The findings will be used to make informed
decisions and to ascertain information of the number of drivers who follow the speed limit
and those who disobey. The researchers will make recommendations to the school
used a stopwatch and a measuring tape. The researcher found a suitable area on the school
compound to collect data. The researcher used a measuring tape to measure a designated area
of the road. The speed was taken by method of the stopwatch for 10 cars entering and leaving
the school compound. Five cars entering and five leaving. The speed was calculated as
distance over time This data was the used to compare the number of cars following and
disobeying the speed limit of the school. The results were then tabulated.

Analysis of data
Discussion of findings
The survey has revealed that the vehicles that travel through the school campus
1. All fifteen vehicles took less than 30s to travel from point a to point b.
3. The minimum speed may be a huge moving vehicle (truck) while the
In conclusion the speed of vehicle travelling through the school campus might not affect the
children walking on the campus since most of the vehicles obey the recommended speed
1. All of the vehicles took less than 30s to travel in the designated area in which the
researcher investigated.
2. The speed of the vehicle are of proximity so it is safe for children to move along the
