We all want to make sure we're doing what we can to lower the risks of a car accident. Speed limits are set in order to help. Each state sets its own speed limits, so it's important to be extra careful and pay attention when traveling. A lot of states have their urban route speed limit at 55-mph, while others are 60, 65 or even 70. Seven states allow a head-spinning 75 mph on urban roadways, and on certain stretches of rural highways, it soars to 80 or even 85 mph.
A good thing to remember is that 55-mph is the default limit on two-lane rural roads in many states unless posted otherwise. Above all, always drive at a safe speed. Curious about what states have the fastest and slowest speed limits?

Please, not matter what, be careful whether you're driving in state or traveling in unfamiliar territory. Following the speed limit can really make a difference.
