Group opposes 55-Mph change Chicago up the National safely Council opposing efforts to weaken the 55-Mph National High Way Speed limit said Friday that repealing the Speed limit would result in an additional 2,000 to 4,000 traffic deaths a year. Oregon. South Dakota Utah West Vii Nia Nevada. Arizona Wyoming Oklahoma Kansas and North Dakota have passed legislation weakening the Speed limit said Chuck Hurley the Council s executive director of Federal affairs.

The Council is Council officials estimated nearly 80,000 lives have been saved since the 55-Mph limit was enacted As a fuel saving measure in 1973. Between 20,000 and 36,000 of those savings Are believed to be a direct result of the lower and More uniform Speed limits Hurley said.
