Drivers can receive speeding tickets for
exceeding the posted speed limit on a public highway
or street. Speeding tickets can be issued by
State, county or local law enforcement officers.
On interstate highways the maximum posted speed can
be as high as 75 mph. Other improved highways
rarely have a posted speed limit exceeding 65 mph.
During the energy crisis of the 1970's Congress passed
legislation limiting speeds on any road or highway to
a maximum of 55 mph in order to conserve fuel.
This limitation lasted from 1974 until 1987 when it
was increased to 65 mph. In 1995 the speed limit
limitation was lifted entirely and States were given
the authority to set interstate highway speed limits.
The interstate highway system also has a minimum speed
limit of 40 mph to protect drivers from slow moving
vehicles.
Every State has a list of speed limits for the
various types of roads and thoroughfares. It is
the responsibility of licensed drivers to know the
State maximum speed limit for the type of road they
are on in order to be safe and to avoid receiving a
speeding ticket on un-posted roads.
