When I lived in NY the NJ Turnpike had variable speed limit signs for inclement weather. ________________________________________ From: FHWA Freight Planning [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Dale A Tabat [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2010 1:30 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Inclement weather speed limit reductions The Washington State DOT is interested in information on the following: 1) Are there any states that decrease the posted speed limit in the event of inclement weather (snow and ice in particular) and if so how is that accomplished? Is the speed limit decrease applied to specific road segments only or can it be incorporated across a state's entire highway system? Looking for related information for all traffic in general and freight trucks in particular. 2) Are there any urban areas that issue chain requirements for freight trucks during snow/ice conditions? Thank you for any input.
