What We Know: Speed limits on some Missouri interstates could soon rise from 70 to 75 miles per hour, but drivers in the Springfield area won’t see changes right away.
What It Means: State lawmakers approved higher speed limits on rural interstates, but MoDOT has the final say on which stretches qualify.
What’s Next: The department has released a map showing eligible sections of interstate highways.
Those areas make up only about 25 percent of Missouri’s total interstate mileage.
