Requesting the Commissioner of Highways to increase the speed limit on highways to 75 miles per hour where appropriate.

Whereas, The Commissioner of Highways is authorized by section two, article six-c, chapter seventeen-c of the Code of West Virginia to establish speed limits on West Virginia highways and the maximum speed limit on those highways is currently 70 miles per hour; and

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Commissioner of Highways is requested to increase the speed limit on highways to 75 miles per hour where appropriate; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegated forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of Highways.
