The decision to increase the speed limit on dangerous portions of two highways in Monterey County, CA is unfortunate but final, and it won't be changed. Road speed limits are to be updated every seven years to reflect the average speed limit. Under the law, speed limits on the two-lane Highway between Potrero and Jetty roads will rise to 55 mph, and along highway 101 from Espinosa Road and the San Benito County line will rise to 60 mph.
Police officers were using radar guns, and gave out tickets for speeding on this section of the highway. But citations for drivers who have received speeding tickets in those areas have been thrown out of court because of the expired studies.
