The focus of this study is to identify potential road links suitable for implementing a variable speed limit (VSL) sign by analyzing real-world traffic speed data collected over one year in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. Exploratory and bivariate analyses were conducted to examine variations in traffic speed patterns during weekdays and weekends across eight specific timespans. The results revealed that road links with lower posted speed limits consistently experienced traffic speeds exceeding the posted speed limits. The mean traffic speeds are generally close to the posted speed limits for road links with higher posted speed limits while the 85th percentile speeds exceeded the posted speed limits, indicating a potential need for VSL sign implementation. The road links with 40 mph or 50 mph posted speed limits have a unique pattern compared to road links of other posted speed limit clusters. The mean traffic speed on these road links decreased as the standard deviation increased. The findings contribute to an improved understanding of traffic speed patterns and provide valuable insights for implementing a VSL sign.
