This page is going to be a collection of what speed limits used to be before the government 55/65 mandate. It is rather bare now so anyone with any info please mail me at kevinatk@home.com. The * in the Verified column indicates that It was verified by some authoritative source (State officials, old highway books, etc). A ? means it is as I recall guess. The Info DOES NOT have to be verified to be posted so if you know of any old speed limits or can get a few send them to me!
