Speed Limits in The United States - Minimum Speed Limits

Minimum Speed Limits

In addition to the legally defined maximum speed, minimum speed limits may be applicable. Occasionally there are default minimum speed limits for certain types of roads, generally freeways.

Comparable to the common basic speed rule, most jurisdictions also have laws prohibiting speeds so low they are dangerous or impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic.

Famous quotes containing the words minimum, speed and/or limits:

    After decades of unappreciated drudgery, American women just don’t do housework any more—that is, beyond the minimum that is required in order to clear a path from the bedroom to the front door so they can get off to work in the mourning.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)

    No speed of wind or water rushing by
    But you have speed far greater.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
    The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
    To the wild limits of its habitation.
    These were not tepid stars of torpid places
    But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
    They looked back at Hans’ look with savage faces.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
