Ohio Highway Speed Limit to Increase?

As the Cincinnati Enquirer reports, State Representative Ron Maag has submitted a bill to raise speed limits on Ohio’s highways by five miles per hour. The bill, HB 395, awaits committee assignment. The Enquirer summarizes the current debate and notes that a similar bill appeared in the Ohio Assembly in 2009. The Assembly’s web site offers that bill, HB 162, along with analyses and fiscal notes.
