Indiana HB1078 eliminates the lower speed limit for trucks on certain highways.

Indiana HB1078 amends the state's motor vehicle laws to increase the maximum speed limit for vehicles with a declared gross weight greater than 26,000 pounds. Specifically, the bill raises the speed limit from 65 miles per hour to 70 miles per hour on highways that are part of the national system of interstate and defense highways outside urbanized areas with a population of at least 50,000. This change aims to standardize speed limits for trucks on these highways, aligning them with the speed limits for other vehicles. Effective July 1, 2025.
