You are on a West Virginia interstate in clear, dry weather with light traffic. No sign shows a different speed limit. Which speed range fits the rules for this road?
Correct answer: At least 55 mph and not more than 70 mph.
Why
Unless a sign shows otherwise, the maximum speed on West Virginia interstates is 70 mph. In good conditions, keep to at least 55 mph on an interstate; go slower only when the weather or the road is bad or a sign posts a lower speed, because a very slow vehicle forces others to brake or change lanes suddenly. The basic speed law still applies: in rain, fog or heavy traffic, drive slower than the limit.
