Show Highway Speed May Be Increased in All States It may not be long before every state in the union will advance the speed limit of highway touring beyond 35 miles an hour where the tourist is a competent motorist and the car ia mechanically sound. At present in Florida the highway traffic laws permit a maximum speed of 45- miles an hour. This speeds up traffic, and where the road is wide and in good shape and the driver knows what he is doing, the hazards are not appreciably increased. Traveling at this rate, there is no need for one tourist to pass another who is keeping up to a maximum. Then, as is the case now, the slow driver will be the menace. |
