What is the maximum speed limit on the Maine Turnpike according to Title 29-A?

The maximum speed limit on the Maine Turnpike is designated as 55 mph in Title 29-A. This speed limit aligns with the safe and efficient operation of vehicles on highways that are designed for higher speed travel, allowing for smoother traffic flow and reduced congestion. While other speed limits may apply in different contexts, such as school zones or residential areas—which often have lower limits like 15 mph or 25 mph—the Turnpike is structured to support faster speeds due to its construction and traffic patterns. This ensures that vehicles can maintain a speed that is appropriate for the road type, balancing safety with the need for efficient travel.
