A Complete Guide to Speed Limits

Before you hit the road, here's what you should know about speed limits. You may know your way around your hometown, but when it comes to traveling to other states, you are going to want to keep an eye on your speedometer.  Speed limits are unfortunately not the same everywhere. So how fast you are allowed to drive can vary widely across the country.  

A handful of jurisdictions maintain a respectable 55-mph limit on urban routes, while others keep theirs at 60, 65 or 70.  There are even a total of seven states that allow a head-spinning 75 mph on urban roadways, and on certain stretches of rural highways, it soars to 80 or even 85 mph. Unless otherwise posted, 55 mph is the default limit on two-lane rural roads in many states.

In case you’re curious, below is a list of the slowest and fastest states for urban speed limit. Take a look!
