Re. government speed limits
How about No Speed Limits? Holy Batman! That would be Anarchy! Oh, the humanity!
Yes, Montana tested anarchy in 1995. It eliminated daytime speed limits in any form on 4 lane Interstate and rural federal-aid primary two lane highways (outside of city limits). Motorists were expected to drive at ‘Reasonable and Prudent’ speeds considered safe for prevailing conditions.
For 4 years of no numerical or posted daytime speed limits on these highways, Montana recorded its lowest number of fatal accidents on the affected roadways.
By 1999 when the Supreme Court ruled the ‘Reasonable and Prudent law’ unconstitutional, the reported fatal accident rate had declined to a record low. Fixed speed limits were reinstated.
After the new Speed Limits were established, interstates fatal accidents went up 111%. On interstates and federal primary highways combined, fatal accidents went up 41%.
How many more Montanans must die before we reinstitute Anarchy?
Yes sir, I remember those days
I wonder if Sammy Hagar’s song “I can’t drive 55” had anything to do with the House’s vote?
A happy Paratus to you all.
