Rural Michigan Highways Could See Higher Speed Limits

Michigan lawmakers are one step closer to increasing speed limits on "rural Michigan interstates and highways".

According to Click On Detroit, the Michigan Senate passed the bill with a 28-8 vote just yesterday. Before the speed limits are just raised though, the bill requires that Michigan's Transportation Department only raise the speed limit "if a safety study shows it's OK." Some stretches could have a higher or lower speed limit depending on those studies.
