Most suburban highways exempt from new 70 mph limit

August 20, 2013

The speed limit on most Chicago and suburban expressways will stay 55 mph even though a bill signed Monday by Gov. Pat Quinn will let drivers go 70 mph elsewhere in the state. State Sen. Jim Oberweis, a Sugar Grove Republican who wrote the plan, said no one on the interstates followed the speed limit. "They always go over 75, quite frankly," Oberweis said.
