Ohio panel OKs 70 mph rural interstate limit
(FROM DAYTON DAILY NEWS) COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio senators are speeding forward on a measure that would increase Ohio’s speed limit to 70 mph.
The higher limit on non-urban interstate highways passed a key committee vote Tuesday. Raising the limit would bring the transportation-heavy state in line with all but 16 other states that limit non-truck drivers in rural areas to 65 mph or less.
The legislation still requires a full Senate vote and a sign-off by the House.
