Missouri’s 75 MPH Speed Limit Explained | Jefferson City News

Missouri’s new law lets some rural highways hit 75 mph next Friday—but don’t rush to rev your engine. MoDOT is carefully reviewing each road, checking traffic volume, truck activity, terrain, and crash history before approving any speed bump. Studies warn higher speeds could mean more fatalities, so they’re taking it slow. Even Interstate 70? Not until construction wraps up—speed limits there are still stuck at 55 mph. Until MoDOT officially greenlights a stretch, keep your foot on the brake and follow the signs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
