5/22/03-A second attempt to create a split speed limit in Connecticut is likely dead for this year.
HB6672, which would create a lower speed limit for trucks on many of the state’s highways – 55 mph as opposed to 65 mph for other vehicles – has sat in the House and Senate judiciary committees since being referred April 4.
The bill also calls for automatic photo-radar devices to catch speeders and raises the possibility that some exits on I-95 through the state would be closed for safety reasons.
