This is great news and a step in the right direction! I wish they would evaluate the speed limits for more stretches of highway across all of New England. I understand limiting speeds for back roads because of pedestrians, turning vehicles, etc. but the speeds on many stretches of highway are not in line with how people are driving and are lower than they were years ago. If bulk of traffic can travel safely at 70 mph then that should be the limit. Speed limits are supposed to be maximum limits set for traveling under ideal conditions yet there are many stretches of road where there are very few vehicles on local highways traveling below those limits, particularly in 55 mph zones.
