Speed Limit Increase Awaits Synder’s Signature

Legislation that would increase speed limits on some parts of Michigan freeways is with the governor.

The state House approved the bills that would raise the speed limit to 75 miles per hour on freeways in rural areas and to 65 miles per hour on “US” and “M” number highways.

Supporters of the laws say the speed limits will be raised after State Police and the Michigan Department of Transportation conduct traffic safety and engineering studies to find out if a wide majority, 85 percent, are currently driving at higher speeds.
