Four state motor vehicle directors agreed February 18 on a compact to suspend licenses for speeding violations across Connecticut Delaware New Jersey and Pennsylvania with automatic 30 day suspensions in other states for 60 mph in 50 mph zones or 70 mph in 60 mph zones. The plan aims at national enforcement conformity and reciprocal suspensions. Connecticut already enforces the system and New Jersey has enacted a similar program. Pennsylvania Governor Lawrence sought legislative changes March 2 to align with these measures. The effort follows decades of discussion and shows continued trend toward tighter speed enforcement and declining traffic deaths from 1957 to 1958.
