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.

Last year, 33 state legislators discussed measures to repeal or weakening of persons aged 55 mph limit. This year, these bills were in 24 countries. Arizona, Missouri and North Dakota voted to repeal, when the federal government eliminates the first national border. South Dakota, today a law to deny the public, including car insurance, access to records on offences against the acceleration of up to 65 mph. Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah have replaced steep acceleration nominal”Energie”Verschwendung sanctions fines of $ 5 to $ 15 for the tour caught between 55 and there are limits-1974 in these countries.

By way of comparison, a speeder in New York can be fined up to $ 100 or imprisonment up to 30 days or even for a first conviction, up to $ 200 or 90 days, or even for a second conviction, within 18 months and up to $ 500 or 180 days or both for a third conviction within a period of 18 months. The third conviction is also the withdrawal of driving licence for at least six months.

The speeds are monitored on roads posted for 55. Until there is relatively little time, the pilots could use their own radar detectors and CB radios to identify locations of surveillance. It is still possible to use the word CB that police cars are spots, but this year for the first time, speeds in all states (even if it is not yet on all highways, Due to lack of equipment and installation problems) were controlled byautomatic, no monitoring devices in the street and not detectable by motorists.

The federal speed limit was officially launched by the American Automobile Association. At the same time, however, if a member of a club affiliated club requires a routing to support plans for a trip that the cards are delivered, where 55 is strictly enforced. According to a list of Triple-A home district of Falls Church, Va., these areas are as follows:

Kentucky - Mountain Parkway Salyersville Winchester. LA - all municipalities (districts) of St. Helena, Tangipahoa, Washington and St. Tammany. Maryland - All State, but with an emphasis on I-70 in Frederick County and I-95 to the USA from Wilson-50 bridge over the Potomac.
