Arizona's experience with the 65 mile per hour speed limit is presented in terms of driver behavior and accident experience. The speed limit on Arizona's rural Interstate was raised to 65 miles per hour on April 15, 1987. Driver behavior is presented in terms of the speeds which motorists actually drive on the rural Interstate. A five year history of Interstate accident data -- 1983 through Spring 1988 -- is presented which provides a before and after comparison. Total accidents, fatal accidents, and injury accidents information is presented.
