highway speed restrictions; safety

Summary

The bill establishes clear “prima facie” speed thresholds (e.g., 15 mph near school crossings, 25 mph in business or residential districts, 65 mph elsewhere) and adds criminal penalties for exceeding them by set amounts. It also authorizes the state transportation director to set or vary speed limits, including special derestricted zones, and creates a minor civil citation for drivers who exceed posted limits by ten mph or less, with no impact on licenses or insurance.
