HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 21
(By Delegates Walters and Warner)

Requesting the Division of Highways to increase the speed limit on all Interstate highways to seventy miles per hour and all state four-lane highways to sixty-five miles per hour.

Whereas, Federal law now allows states to set their own speed limits on controlled access highways; and
Whereas, Many of the state's controlled access highways go through sparsely populated areas so that higher speed limits would be safe; and
Whereas, Higher speed limits would bring the far-flung reaches of the state closer together; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Department of Highways is hereby requested to increase the speed limit on all interstate highways to seventy miles per hour and all state four-lane highways to sixty-five miles per hour; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk forward a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of Highways and the Secretary of Transportation.
