New speed law now in effect The State Highway Patrol, backed up by new legislation recently enacted by the General Assembly, has begun a program of strict enforcement against speed violations on the high ways of South Carolina, Chief Highway Commissioner Silas N. Pearman announced today. The State now has an abso lute maximum speed law, repla- ing the prima facie law for maximum limits which has been in effect since 1949. The new law was enacted by the General Assembly for the pur pose of combatting the State’s unusually high traffic accident death toll, in which speed law violations are a major contri buting factor. Officials warned motorists today that the new law is al ready in effect and enforce ment by the Highway Patrol and all State and local agen cies has started. It eliminates the prima facie concept for speeds above the posted limits, but drivers may still be ar rested for driving too fast for conditions at speeds below the posted maximum limits in cases where adverse road, weather or traffic conditions exist. Under the new law, any speed in ex cess of the posted limit is a cear-cut violation. Maximum absolute limits set by the new law are 65 or 70 miles per hour on Interstate System Highways and other freeways, as indicated by post ed signs; 60 miles per hour on some primary system routes which are posted for that speed, and 55 miles per hour on other highways which are posted for that speed or are unposted. The maximum limit in all urban areas is 30 miles per hour, or as posted. Where daytime speed limits are posted for 60, 65, or 70 miles per hour, night time limits are five miles per hour lower than daytime limits. Speeds of house trailer units are limited to a maximum of 45 miles per hour. Newberryr College students rehearse a scene from “Come Blow Your Horn,” a comedy by .
