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.
