A-Best: From reading this, it sounds as if today is the one-year anniversary of US-23 raising their speed limit from 65 to 70. Agency: Transportation May 2, 2006 - - A recent study conducted by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), in conjunction with the Michigan State Police, established a need to increase the speed limit on the US-23 Connector between I-75 and M-13 in Arenac County. The speed limit, which currently is 65 mph at this location, will be raised to 70 mph on this 2.5-mile stretch of roadway. This new speed limit will go info effect when new speed limit signs are erected, which are expected to be in place by Wednesday, May 24. The Arenac County Sheriff's Department has been notified of the speed limit change. The data gathered from the speed study was analyzed to determine the 85th percentile, which is the speed at or below which 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling. Nationally, the 85th percentile speed is considered by most agencies to be the appropriate speed limit. It recognizes that most drivers voluntarily adjust their speed to the total roadway/roadside environment. The study conducted at the US-23 Connector showed a majority of motorists traveling faster than the current posted speed of 65 mph. "Safety on our state roads and bridges is always our highest priority. After careful review, it was a joint decision to raise the speed limit to 70 mph on this section of the US-23 Connector," said Terry Anderson, MDOT Bay Region engineer.
