Over the past two years, official and public resistance against the limit of 55 km / h
If you are driving mid-55-Hour the regulatory speed limit on New York’s Dir Thomas E. Dewey Thruway and seem overwhelmed by any other vehicle on the road, you are susceptible. According to the latest statistics available, the Federal Highway Administration - April 1982 to June - a total of 83 per cent of vehicles monitors the state of inter-institutional system of the State of New York was the clock at speeds of more than 55 km / h
This number, one of the highest in the nation to the Inter States, is symptomatic of a great dilemma, many long-distance drivers:”As a general rule, the law of citizens, I should adhere strictly to the resort Ally speed limit imposed, or should I go with the package, because it is assumed there is so much contempt for the law, some are probably caught?”
The dilemma seems largely on States. Based on statistics for all types of roads, where speeds of 55 km / h is allowed, most motorists throughout the country, this border, and New York’s record is one of the best. ”What we are witnessing a return to a little faster on the roads of traffic, for speeds over 60 mph,’’said Woodrow W. Rankin from the highway users Federation, Washington-based non-profit group, retention of the limit of support for security reasons.
Deep concerns, “said Rankin, pilots are (almost 8 per cent), more than 65 years on roads posted for 55. ”This is a dangerous trend,”he said. ”If it continues, it could mean more traffic accidents.”
For long-distance drivers, speed of 55 km / h on motorways built safe enough to make a difference. You can sometimes boring shave a lot of time off also magnificent. Many drivers, however, are determined to obey the law, whatever it is reasonable, and while nobody is ready to March, to leave a fine for driving too fast and, accordingly, under the rising insurance rates.
Ten years ago, according to the Federation of users of the highway, nearly 70 per cent of vehicles on highways exceeded 55. Two states - Montana and Nevada - had no speed limits, allowing some countries to 75 on States. New York-65 along border has been the biggest part of the Thruway.
During 1974, but for the conservation of fuel consumption as a result of the Arab oil embargo, Congress a law that indicates the maximum speed of 55 or lose federal aid for highways. Première”automobilistes compliance has been good,”the Federation reported, but there have been ups and downs since 1975.
Over the past two years, official and public resistance against the limit of 55 km / h is developed, especially for the Inter States. Opponents have pointed out that these highways were built to much higher speeds. They note that public pressure and save the state has decreased since deliveries have increased and prices have plunged. In its election campaign in 1980, President Reagan promised the abolition of the national speed limit, while since coming to power, his government has relaxed its enforcement.
