Speed Limit Increase Passes Virginia House and Senate
Today, both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly passed Governor Bob McDonnell’s proposal to raise the speed limit on rural highways to 70 miles per hour. This proposal had support on both sides of the aisle, and now, the two bills will be voted on again by the House and Senate before going to the Governor’s desk for a signature. In the House, Del. Bill Carrico (R-Galax) sponsored the bill, while Sen. Steve Newman (R-Lynchburg) was the patron of the Senate version.
