Missouri Raises Speed Limits to 75 | St. Louis News

Missouri just gave drivers a little more gas pedal—Governor Mike Kehoe signed SB 1408, raising the max speed limit to 75 mph on select rural, four-lane highways like I-35, I-44, I-55, and I-70. Not city streets—just open roads, matching half of neighboring states. The bill had a controversial safety inspection repeal clause, but that was axed to appease the governor. New limit kicks in August 28, 2026—time to recalibrate your speedometer or just your expectations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
