SAVE THE 55 SPEED LIMIT It has come to the attention that great efforts are being made to increase the maximum speed limit from 55 miles per hour. Ever since this was passed, there have been complaints and differences of opinions on this limit, but on the other hand, statistics bear out the fact that the lowering of the speed limit does save lives. It is true that the interstate highways probably can handle an increased speed limit without too much problem. There are few vehicles on major roads now that travel at the 55 limit or less. There is talk about letting the individual states once again control the speed limits in their own states, and now the only hammer held over the limit is federal funding for highways, a big chunk of money for the individual states. Indiana does not have a reputation for having the best roads across our land and certainly, only the interstates and limited access highways safely could stand an increase in speed. It is another case of once you have a law and repeal it, trends will go strongly in the direction of more than the allowable limit. It is our opinion that, certainly in Indiana, if any national speed limit is going to be raised, it should only be on limited access highways. People should be used to driving at the lesser speeds and should be able to plan and live with them. It certainly would be a shame and probably result in higher statistics once again if the limit were raised on more than the limited access roads. Why take a chance of taking more lives, traffic accidents still claim a tremendously high number of fatalities and serious injuries as it is, why add to the matter by allowing higher speeds, particularly on roads that just aren’t in good enough condition to handle the increased speeds.
