Riot units move to halt blockade on Ohio Turnpike
About two hundred Ohio Highway Patrolmen from Cleveland and Toledo moved to clear a blockade of tractor trailer rigs on the Ohio Turnpike west of Cleveland and at Toledo. Troopers used clubs to access vehicles while National Guard units assisted in removing disabled rigs. Traffic on I-75 into Toledo and I-70 into Columbus remained blocked as protests against low speed limits and high fuel prices continued across several states.

Speed limit battle stalls as 55 mph plan faces Senate delay
Motorists may face a 55 mph limit on New Year’s Day after AB1900 advanced in the Assembly but stalled in the Senate Transportation Committee. Speaker Moretti and Sen Walsh push for quick action with possible Jan 1 implementation or delay to allow buses, trucks, and signs to adjust. The measure aims to save about 30 million gallons of gasoline annually, about 4 percent of California’s vehicle fuel use. The limit could stay through June 30, 1975, as lawmakers seek rapid action amid an energy crisis.
