Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill HB 2274 specifically establishes a maximum speed limit of 35 miles per hour for vehicles traveling on dirt and gravel roads. This amendment clarifies the law to ensure that this speed limit is formally included and recognized as a standard. It matters because it helps enhance safety on these less stable road surfaces, where higher speeds can pose greater risks to drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, previous language about the requirement for speed limits to be posted has been removed, streamlining the focus on the speed limit itself.
