Basically me driving down Military St. if I didn’t have a POS car.
Good news for anyone with a lead foot!
Mlive reported Wednesday that 600 miles of Michigan freeways are getting a speed limit bump from 70 mph to 75 mph, and a stretch of road in the Blue Water Area will see the increase! Drivers will get those five extra miles starting where I-69 meets I-94 heading East to the Genesee County border. Then the 75 mph bump picks back up again in Swartz Creek nearly all the way to Lansing.
We could see the signs change as early at May 1st. The new speed limit will be official when the roads are signed by mid-November.
After Mid-November, people will look like this driving past Wadhams.
900 miles stretches of non-freeway in Michigan will also see an increase from 60 mph to 65 mph–nothing near the Blue Water Area, though. The idea of raising speed limits was kicked around the legislature for a few years before getting a signature from Gov. Rick Snyder this past January.
MDOT was cool enough to throw together a map of where the speed limit increases will happen. Check that out here.
I mean, who doesn’t like to go fast?
