* USA - Push to Keep 55 MPH Speed Limit for Trucks on Illinois Highways
From the Office of Governor Rod BlagojevichChicago,Ill,USA -illinoischannel.spaces.live.com -28 sept 2007: -- Governor Rod R. Blagojevich’s top transportation officials were joined today by traffic safety and law enforcement advocates in urging legislators to sustain the Governor’s veto of Senate Bill 540, which would have raised the speed limit for trucks in Illinois to 65 miles per hour... The Governor has fought to keep the 55 mph speed limit in place for trucks on Illinois highways for the safety of everyone who travels our roads... During Gov. Blagojevich's administration fatalities on state roads have dropped by 200 a year, the lowest levels since 1924... Other traffic safety measures signed into law by the Governor include:
* Chemical testing required for those arrested for hit-and-run;
* Harsher sentencing for causing a death while driving impaired; and
* Tougher penalties for driving on a DUI-revoked license.
