Bill > HB1055

This bill amends Tennessee's speed limit laws for highways in the interstate and defense highway system, as well as four-lane controlled-access highways. Specifically, the bill raises the maximum statutory speed limit from 70 miles per hour (mph) to 75 mph and increases the minimum speed in the left lane from 55 mph to 60 mph. Additionally, the bill modifies rules for truck speed limits, changing the threshold for trucks from 65 mph to 70 mph on these highway types. The legislation also adjusts the range of speed violations, expanding the excess speed range from "in excess of 55 mph but less than 75 mph" to "in excess of 60 mph but less than 80 mph". These changes are part of Tennessee's ongoing efforts to update transportation regulations, and the new speed limits will take effect on July 1, 2025, as stated in the bill's final section.
