as of july 1 , NM speed limit for all semi trucks is 65 mph .
this includes freeways and major US routes
( 550/ 285/ 60/ 70 ) .
state cops / sherriffs / locals all ready enforcing it ( no matter what the speed sibn says) .
thank that ####### rep from gallup for starting it , and the idiots in SF who let it get through , and our fool gov for signing it .
BTW - four wheelers can still do whatever speed they want like always .
( fine is 250 and up and points on drivers license plus the cdl penelty)
as of july 7 this bill DID NOT Pass !!
sorry for the bad information , local news had it wrong .
NM 65 mph for only semi trucks .

Thanks for the info. So did they change all the signs? How can a cop wrIte a ticket if there's no sign? There's no way something like that would hold in court.
I went thru on the 2nd and saw no notice of this new law so I appreciate you posting this.
