Signal 30》是1959年公路安全基金会(Highway Safety Foundation)在俄亥俄州曼斯菲尔德附近拍摄的一部社教短片。这部电影在20世纪60年代到80年代向美国各地的高中生广泛放映,影片由理查德·韦曼(Richard Wayman)制作,韦恩·拜尔斯(Wayne Byers)解说,片名意为“信号30”,来源于俄亥俄州公路巡逻队英语Ohio State Highway Patrol对致命交通事故使用的无线电代码[1][2][3]

与《Red Asphalt英语Red Asphalt》类似,《Signal 30》中也有撞毁的汽车及受伤乘员的残酷画面。尽管影片可怖,但后来还是获得了国家安全委员会奖(National Safety Council Award)。之后,该片又推出了两部续集,分别名为《Mechanized Death》(机械化死亡)和《Wheels of Tragedy》(悲剧之轮),并激发了类似血腥道路安全影片的流派[4]
