At one time, these minimum speeds required signage, but these limits have since been codified in state law; signs indicating these minimum speeds still exist, but now simply serve as a reminder.

[156] On March 15, 2016, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved raising the speed limit on the remaining 65mph (105km/h) sections of the turnpike to 70mph (115km/h); sections that were posted at 55mph (89km/h) would retain that speed limit. [189][190] Through a separate provision, speed limits up to 80mph (129km/h) or 85mph (137km/h) can be established on certain highways. A speed limit of 60mph (97km/h) is typically used in suburban areas such as I-494 and I-694 loops in the Twin Cities metro area. Per city ordinance, fines for violations are $35 for vehicles traveling 6-10 miles per hour over the speed limit and $100 for vehicles traveling more than 10 miles over the speed limit. In June 2015, the Arkansas Highway Commission authorized the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) to raise the speed limit on undivided 4 and 5 lane roads from 55 to 60mph (89 to 97km/h), and divided 4 lane roads from 55 to 65mph (89 to 105km/h); these changes affect 285 miles (459km) of Arkansas highways. The only auxiliary interstates in Tennessee with a 70mph speed limit are Interstate 155, Interstate 269, and Interstate 840. Purchased time will be portable and good until expiration at most meters OF THE SAME TYPE OF SPACE AND WITH THE SAME OR LOWER HOURLY RATE (i.e., time purchased for a Commercial Loading Zone is portable only to another Commercial Loading Zone, and time purchased at other on-street meters is portable only to other on-street meters).

For example, in the Detroit metro area, I-75 southbound enters Detroit at M-102 (8 Mile Road, exit 59) and maintains a 70mph (113km/h) limit all the way until the interchange with I-94 (exit 53), where the speed limit drops to 55mph (89km/h). 15to 25mph (2440km/h) in urban and rural school zones, when children are present. Subdivision and residential streets generally, though not always carry a 25mph (40km/h) speed limit. The law allows raising or lowering the statutory limit only if an engineering and traffic investigation indicates that a different limit is appropriate. However, Michigan permits speed limits of up to 65mph (105km/h) after a safety study concludes the higher limit is safe to implement. The Revised Code of Washington permits speed limits of 75mph (121km/h) in sections deemed appropriate by an engineering study. . traveling 6-10 mph over the posted speed limit while in a safety zone, and . As such, all traffic is permitted to travel at the same speed.[54]. By the end of 2016, UDOT raised speed limits to 80mph on additional sections of I-15 and I-70.[221].

Signs like the wrong ones we found are called secondary warning signs. Four-lane arterials by default are posted at 60mph (97km/h). The sections are from Winnemucca to Battle Mountain and from Elko to Wells. [211] 70mph or lower speed limits have become unusual on rural Texas roads.

The District of Columbia has a maximum speed limit of 55mph (89km/h), although speed limits as low as 40mph (64km/h) can be posted, such as on the Eisenhower Freeway.

(Before the new rule was implemented, people going exactly 10 mph over the limit were fined $35, and faster violators got $100 tickets.) A small portion of the westbound lane (less than 500 feet) of State Route 16 in Licking County is signed at 70 MPH slightly before the route upgrades from a two-lane non-divided to a four-lane divided highway, but otherwise, no non-divided highway in the state currently has a speed limit higher than 55 miles per hour (89km/h), though ODOT is now permitted to increase undivided roads to 60 miles per hour (97km/h).

This is mainly applied on both undivided and divided rural non-freeway routes. While the warning signs for park cameras state that the camera enforcement hours are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., hearing officers have overturned tickets on the grounds that signs posted at some parks or on the citys website show an earlier closing time.

He bases that statement on the fact that in January during the first week that the city began issuing warning notices to people speeding by 6-9 mph, 52,498 warnings were mailed out.

North of Frederick Road in Buchanan County the limit returns to 70mph until the Iowa state line. The Transportation Cabinet is now authorized to raise any multilane, divided rural highway up to 65 MPH based on speed and design studies. As such, these stretches do not meet modern interstate highway standards, and have closely spaced interchanges, sharp curves, and/or limited sight distances.

However, the only interstates raised to 65mph are Interstate 95 from exits 1-9 and Interstate 295.[166]. Most freeways and interstates in Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties, and some interstates and freeways in Will County maintain a 55-60mph speed limit.

Urban speeds are set, by default, to 30mph (48km/h). Generally single-lane rural roads have 65mph (105km/h) limits, and multi-lane rural roads have 70mph (113km/h) limits. as determined by a traffic and engineering survey[32]this is the speed that no more than 15% of traffic exceeds; or (2) the prima facie limits mandated when certain criteria are met as described in the vehicle code. On urban freeways, divided at-grade expressways, and rural two-lane limited access roads, the speed limit is 55mph (89km/h), such as on I-189 and Interstate 89 in Burlington, and US Route 7 and Vermont State Route 279 outside of Bennington. In Pennsylvania the maximum freeway speed limit is generally 65mph (105km/h), with select sections of rural freeway and most of the Pennsylvania Turnpike signed at 70mph (113km/h), or 55mph (89km/h) such as most of standalone Interstate 70.

This is not enforced for slow-moving trucks in areas with steep grades and signs are posted that instruct drivers to use their flashers if traveling below 50mph (40 if the speed limit is 55). Speed limits for all classes of roads and areas are set by statute in New Mexico, meaning that any changes to the state's speed limits would require a bill to pass both chambers of the Legislature and be signed into law by the Governor (or overridden by the Legislature in the event of a Governor's veto). A proposed alternative was to restore passenger vehicle limits but retain a 55mph truck speed limit. Until last March, that camera and more than 100 like it around the city could ticket drivers going at least 10 mph over the limit. Then-Governor George Pataki signed legislation in September 2003 that enables NYSDOT and New York State Thruway Authority to raise speed limits to 65mph on its roads that meet established design and safety standards.
