WYDOT Names Highways to Receive 70 mph Speed Limit in April

Drivers will be able to travel 70 mph on about 1,500 miles of Wyoming highways by the end of April, according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.

WYDOT says in a press release the new speed limit for Wyoming’s non-interstate highways will go into effect as crews install new speed limit signs over the next several weeks, with another 1,000 miles of highway expected to have the new signs by the end of May.

Until the new 70 mph speed limit signs are up, drivers must adhere to the existing posted speed limit.
