Скачать или смотреть Maximum Speed Limit Change in California

Date: December 17, 1995

Location: Los Angeles

Details: On December 17, 1995 the maximum speed limit in California was changed from 55mph to 65mph.

The previous California speed limit of 55 mph had been in effect from the mid 1970s.

The California maximum speed limit was reduced from 65 to 55 in the mid 1970s because of the Mid East Oil Embargo gas shortages that impacted gas supplies.

California lawmakers believed that reducing the speed limit from 65 to 55 would save gasoline. The lowering of the California speed limit from 65 to 55 proved to be very unpopular with California Drivers.

However, California law makers loved the law because speeding tickets proved to be a cash cow boom to the state.

In 1995 with much pressure from California Citizens, the speed limit was changed back to 65. Cal Trans was in charge of posting the new 65 mph speed limit throughout California Freeways.
