Every Interstate in the U.S. has a minimum speed of 40 posted. -------------------------------------------- Brian Millham AT & T Information Systems Denver, Co. ...!inhp4!drutx!review

I understand that the minimum legal speed on U.S. highways is 40 mph. E. Orange

Sorry. It was pointed out to me that some states do not post this minimum speed. I was going on my experience from states that I have traveled in. -------------------------------------------- Brian Millham AT & T Information Systems Denver, Co. ...!inhp4!drutx!review

You usually see the sign right next to the SPEED 55 sign reading MINIMUM SPEED 45. BTW, get out your magnifying glass sometime and notice under the SPEED 55 signs, in tiny print, it says "when conditions permit". -- tektronix!tekred!ronbe _____ Support Bacteria - Ron Bemis / o o \ It's the only Tektronix | \___/ | culture some Redmond, OR \_____/ people have!

Many of the interstates have a minimum of 40 MPH. The Mass. pike (I-90)
comes to mind. So does I-91 in Connecticut. I haven't seen any since
moving out west.

On eastbound I-494 in Bloomington, Minnesota there is a sign: +---------+ | SPEED | | LIMIT | | 55 | +---------+ | MINIMUM | | 40 | +---------+ -- ------- A gleekzorp without a tornpee is like a quop without a fertsneet (sort of).

Actually ... The minimum speed on INTERSTATE highways is 45mph .. US highways are not the same..

Most highways in California do not have minimum posted speeds. However,
I believe you can be cited for driving too slow (less than about 40-45
mph --I don't have a copy of the California Vehicle Code handy) if con-
ditions permitted you to go at a "normal" speed.
Of course, during rush hour on Los Angeles freeways, top speeds are
typically under 30 mph, if indeed they get that high! (no smiley face)
Several years ago, while visiting southern British Columbia (yes, I know
the original poster only asked about the U.S.), I saw a sign on a free-
way onramp to the effect that vehicles incapable of a minimum speed of
60 km/h (37.3 mph) were not allowed on the freeway.
