Signal 30

《Signal 30》是1959年公路安全基金會（Highway Safety Foundation）在俄亥俄州曼斯菲爾德附近拍攝的一部社教短片。這部電影在20世紀60年代到80年代向美國各地的高中生廣泛放映，影片由理查德·韋曼（Richard Wayman）製作，韋恩·拜爾斯（Wayne Byers）解說，片名意為「信號30」，來源於俄亥俄州公路巡邏隊（英語：Ohio State Highway Patrol）對致命交通事故使用的無線電代碼^[1][2][3]。

與《Red Asphalt（英語：Red Asphalt）》類似，《Signal 30》中也有撞毀的汽車及受傷乘員的殘酷畫面。儘管影片可怖，但後來還是獲得了國家安全委員會獎（National Safety Council Award）。之後，該片又推出了兩部續集，分別名為《Mechanized Death》（機械化死亡）和《Wheels of Tragedy》（悲劇之輪），並激發了類似血腥道路安全影片的流派^[4]。
