YCT Yea. HB 1353 increased the maximum speed limit to 75 miles per hour, removed the reduced night time speed limit, and eliminated different speed limits for large trucks. YCT supports this change because there is no compelling safety argument why drivers should not be free to drive at faster speeds. Furthermore, by reducing speed limit variation, driver confusion should be reduced, leading to fewer costly citations.
