Taylor Burton, Director Highways. As a part of a program aimed at establishing realistic and reasonable speed limits on state highways, speed limits on many highways have recently been increased. During 1963, more than 300 miles of highway previously zoned at 60 m.p.h. at night were rezoned at 70 m.p.h day and night. This mileage is located on 17 different sections of highway in all regions of the state. The speed limit on each section was raised on the basis of a traffic and engineering investigation showing the need for the higher limit. Accidents on the seventeen sections were carefully tabulated and analyzed for a period of twelve months before the increase to 79 m.p.h and after the increase. Traffic volume records were also carefully kept. During the study period traffic throughout the state and on the special study sections increased 7 per cent. The statewide accident freqiiency increasd 5 per cent. The accident frequency on the study sections, however, decreased 16 per cent after th espeed limit was raised to 70 m.p.h County Commissioner Jenson Proposes Plan for Hiring Youths executive secretary of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce, is in charging of planning the inauguration.
