2/22/07-The Senate Transportation Committee voted unanimously to kill a bill that called for doing away with split speed limits.
Existing state law allows cars to drive 75 mph while vehicles with five or more axles operating at a gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds are limited to 65 mph.
S1075 would have allowed all vehicles to drive 70 mph on interstate highways in the state.
