Lake Daytime Speed Limit

It seems to me, as it seemed to me last time that it's the legislators that don't live around the like that don't want to change it. Why should they care? I didn't see an official count so maybe I am wrong.

Also the Diamond Island crash involved alcohol as do most of these serious crashes.

Actually in 2011 greater than 80% of reps from towns bordering the lake voted in favor of the speed limit. And Karel Crawford is from Moultonboro

And as far as alcohol is concerned one's chances of avoiding a near miss from an impaired driver going 45 MPH are a lot better than if they are going 70 MPH.

The issue at hand is day time speed limits. This incident referred to above happened at night where the limit wouldn’t change.

You can go to the archived list at the NH House of Representatives and go back to 2011.

Roll call votes in the House are available on line as a link from the bill's docket.

I think you want the 2011 vote.

The 2011 vote was opposition to increasing Lake Winnipesaukee daytime speed limit to 55.

It was voted down... and this would be the House Roll Call.
