Add NJ Roads to 65mph List?

A state task force is expected to recommend increasing the speed limit on sections of several New Jersey highways to 65 miles per hour.

Gannett New Jersey reports that the panel is planning to recommend the increase in a report that will be sent to Acting Governor DiFrancesco and the Legislature next week. Roads that may get recommended for the speed limit increase include sections of Interstate 287, Interstate 80 and Interstate 78.

Officials with the state police, Department of Transportation and Office of Highway Safety would not comment on their task force`s report.

But the coordinator of the state chapter of the National Motorists Association believes the report will recommend increasing the speed limit on some roads.
