and Notes |

|
|
|
|
|
Authorizing the
Commissioner of Transportation to raise the speed limit on the interstate
system or other divided controlled-access highway may decrease General Fund
revenue generated by fines. The actual
loss of revenue over time will depend on the location or locations where the
limit is raised, enforcement policies of the State Police and how drivers
choose to adjust to the new speed limit. |
|
Additional costs,
if any, to the Department of
Transportation associated with new speed limit signs can be absorbed with
existing staff and within existing budgeted resources. |
