Seek Flexible System of Speed Limits
Chicago Motors club proposes a flexible system of highway speed limits to be debated by the Illinois General Assembly in January 1955. Data from U S 41 shows speeds averaging 51 mph in northern Illinois under vague limits and 60 mph in southern Wisconsin with state wide limits. The plan favors reasonable prima facie limits where conditions justify them and argues a uniform 60 or 65 mph fails to fit all roads, noting motorist behavior and accident data in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri.
