Punt backs 65 mph speed limit in state
State Sen Terry Punt says he favors raising the speed limit to 65 mph on interstate and turnpike sections after surveying district constituents about the measure. He cautions support depends on bill details and suggests local authorities should adjust limits for safety in urban areas and metropolises like York City. He notes shifts from the federal 55 mph rule since the oil crisis and mixed findings on safety impacts.
