Update to Issues Report for Interstate Speed Changes

Author/Presenter: Monsere, Christopher; Kothuri, Sirisha; Razmpa, Ali
Abstract:

Currently, the Oregon Department of Transportation is investigating the potential for increasing the truck speed limit from 55 to 60 mph in segments where the current speed limit is 65 for cars/light vehicles and 55 mph for trucks. This report summarizes the literature on the operational and safety impacts of raising speed limits, the effect of uniform versus differential speed limit policies, and truck equipment and work zone policies.
