TO EXAMINE THE ENFORCEMENT AND MONITORING OF THE 55-MILE-PER-HOUR SPEED LIMIT. HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SURFACE TRANSPORTATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND TRANSPORTATION, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NINETY-NINTH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION, JULY 23, 1985

The specific issue regarding the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit that was addressed in the hearing here reprinted was the pros and cons of TRB's recommendation that the Federal Government measure State compliance with a point system that attaches more significance to high-speed violations than violations just above the speed limit. Testimony was heard from representatives of State and Federal agencies, as well as from NRC and TRB themselves.
