(Springfield, IL) — State Senator Jim Oberweis, the principal sponsor of raising the speed limit to 70 miles per hour on some state roads, apparently feels a need for more speed. He’s sponsoring a bill to raise the speed limit to 75 on many interstates and to 60 on many other roads. The Aurora Republican says 75 mph is the speed driven by 85-percent of the drivers on the highways now, despite the existing speed limit.
