NJ S1652

Speed limits on limited access highways under DOT, NJ Turnpike Authority, and South Jersey Transportation Authority jurisdiction must be set at the 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85% of vehicles travel), rounded up to the nearest 5 mph

Traffic engineering speed surveys must be completed within four months of the act's effective date and reevaluated at least every 10 years or when highways are substantially altered

Until speed limits are set based on the required traffic engineering studies, speeding fines are capped at $20 per offense with no motor vehicle penalty points or insurance eligibility points assessed

Survey results, methodologies, and speed limit data must be published on the respective agency websites for public access

The bill repeals the existing "Sixty-Five MPH Speed Limit Implementation Act" and establishes specific technical requirements for conducting speed surveys, including four-second headway measurements and surveys on straight roadway sections under clear conditions
