IDAHO — A new bill introduced in Idaho aims to change speed limits for large vehicles with five or more axles weighing over 26,000 pounds, such as semi-trucks. According to the official document, the proposal seeks to amend current Idaho law, which sets lower speed limits for these vehicles compared to passenger vehicles and lighter trucks.
The bill suggests that larger vehicles should adhere to the same speed limits as other vehicles on the roads. Sponsors of the bill argue that this change could reduce accidents, stating that speed variance causes more accidents than a unified speed limit.
The official document states that if passed, the bill would go into effect on July 1. However, it has yet to pass the House or Senate.
