摘要

This notice invites comments, suggestions and recommendations from State highway and traffic safety officials, highway safety organizations, researchers, and others with an interest in the potential relationship between increases in the speed limit and increases in motor vehicle fatalities and injuries. Specifically, in those States that have raised their speed limits beyond that permitted by the former NMSL, this notice solicits the participation and cooperation of the respective State highway safety officials in the preparation of the study of costs and benefits associated with the repeal of the NMSL, pursuant to Section 347 of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995.
