No speed cut in Ohio before '74
Ohio Transportation Director J. Phillip Richley told reporters that speed limits cannot be reduced before January and warned gas rationing could cost Ohio up to 70 million dollars annually. He noted average weekly consumption at 16 gallons and that limiting to 15 gallons would cut tax revenue by 11.5 million, or 70 million if limited to 10. Enforcement hinges on updating speed limit signs, a 15 to 20 day process.
