Arizona officials are considering completely eliminating speed limits on certain sections of highways.



Arizona Assemblyman Nick Cooper has proposed reinstating the so-called "reasonable driving" law. This law, which was in effect in Montana from 1995 to 1999, limited speeds solely to the driver's own good will and judgment.

Taking safety into account, Cooper made what he considered necessary changes. Specifically, uncontrolled driving would be permitted only on technically prepared sections of highways and outside cities with populations over 50,000, and only during daylight hours (from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset, to be precise). Trucks and buses won't be able to drive at full speed—only cars. At night, the limit will be 80 mph (128 km/h).

If passed, the bill would allow the Director of the Department of Transportation to designate sections of state highways as no-speed zones, according to CarBuzz. Thus, the emergence of freeways, as legally defined, could become a reality in the US, something law-abiding speed enthusiasts would be very happy about.
