An effort at the Florida statehouse to authorize faster speeds on interstates and other limited-access highways took its first step toward passage. OOIDA leadership says it’s imperative for road safety that any changes made to driving speeds promote uniformity.

The Senate Transportation Committee voted 6-1 to advance a bill that could increase the posted speed limit on highways for all vehicles to as much as 75 mph. Florida law authorizes cars and trucks to travel 70 mph on interstates. Drivers can travel 65 mph on highways with a divided median and 60 mph on other roadways.
