New Speed Limit Signs Going Being Posted
North Carolina's DRIVE 55
plan moves another step
Monday. November 26.
Department of Transportation
personnel from the Division of
Highways will begin to put
overlays on highway signs to
reflect the new 55 mile per
hour maximum speed limit.
The ordinance has been
signed but the enforcement of
the 55 mile limit will begin
December 1st as directed by
Governor Jim Holshouser.
“We have to take into account
the time it takes to install
these overlays," the Governor
said. “Normally a speed limit
is in effect pjjpe the ordinance
is signed and the limits are
posted, but this is not a nor
mal change in speed limits. I
have asked the Highway
Patrol and other law en
forcement agencies to begin
enforcing the limits where the
signs are posted on December
1st. In the meantime. I’d like
to urge all Jar Heel drivers to
begin to adjust their driving to
the lower speeds.
Drivers of state-owned
vehicles have been instructed
to observe a 50 mile per hour
r1"' / •
limit. Various commercial
and industrial- fleets have
reduced voluntarily their
vehicles to a 30 or 55 mile per
hour limit. “This voluntary
effort is the type of response
we need from all our citizens,”
the Governor said. “We need
to have the cooperation of all
the people of the state, not just
with the reducing of speed
limns, but with me cutting
back on thermostats. Many
citizens face unemployment if
factories are forced tp^clb^e
due to a lack df fuel. y
Speed limit changes will be\
made on 5382 signs across the'
state. The first priority will be
given to changing signs on the
Interstate system. The signs
will be changed by putting
pressure-sensitive overlays in
place of existing speed limit
numbers._
North Carolina is one of the
first dozen states to make
changes in speed limits as
part of a campaign to help
relieve the energy crisis.
