Item Text

51. COUNTYWIDE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT Fully rescind the Countywide maximum speed limit requirement of 55 MPH dated January 17, 1974. The January 17, 1974 Board Resolution references a federal mandate to set the maximum speed limit within Maricopa County to 55 MPH. It is assumed that this Resolution was in response to the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) provision of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act. Congress fully repealed the NMSL in 1995 and it is no longer used in the practice of determining speed limits. This action will allow the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, specifically the County Traffic Engineer, to set speed limits consistent with current practice and federal requirements. Supervisory Districts No.: 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 (C-64-24-039-X-00)
