Bill > HB1294

This bill establishes a specific speed limit of 45 miles per hour on a portion of Route 125 located in the town of Brentwood, New Hampshire, specifically between the Epping and Kingston town lines. The bill is based on a Road Safety Audit completed in February 2024 that suggested lower speed limits could enhance highway safety. The legislation amends the existing state law (RSA 265:62) to create a new subparagraph specifying this speed limit, and requires the Department of Transportation to install appropriate signage reflecting the new speed limit. The local police department will have primary responsibility for enforcing this new speed regulation. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, and while it is not expected to generate any new revenue, it may have some indeterminable expenditure impacts on local and state government systems related to potential enforcement and signage installation.
