Kentucky Senate approves speed boost

The Kentucky Senate voted in favor of a proposal that would increase the speed limit for all vehicles on interstates and four-lane highways throughout the state, The Courier-Journal reported.

Senate lawmakers voted 31-3 March 26 to approve the bill with amendments added by the chamber’s Transportation Committee. It now heads back to the House, whose original version of the bill – HB365 – dealt only with recreational vehicle length and weight limits.

The amended version would set the speed limit on interstates and parkways at 70 mph, up from 65 mph. Speeds on four-lane state highways would climb from 60 mph to 65 mph. Senators rejected another amendment offered by the committee to increase speeds on two-lane highways from 55 mph to 60 mph.
