Oregon had been among a handful of states where the highest speed limit was still 65 mph. Rep. Phil Barnhart, a Eugene Democrat, lamented the bill to raise the limit. Barnhart harkened to the 1970s, when speed limits were lowered under President Jimmy Carterâs administration amid a national oil shortage.
Most speed limits are set by state or local statute, although each state allows various subdivisions (counties and municipalities) to set a different, generally lower, limit. The highest speed limits are generally 70 mph (113 km/h) on the West Coast and the inland eastern states, 75â80 mph (121â129 km/h) in inland western states, along with Arkansas and Louisiana, and 65â75 mph (105â121 km/h) on the Eastern Seaboard.
