RULES OF THE ROAD – Amends existing law to provide for vehicles to exceed the speed limit while passing in a passing lane.

Idaho's H 205 amends speed limit laws to allow drivers of passenger cars, motorcycles, and pickup trucks (not towing) to exceed the posted speed limit by up to 15 mph while safely passing slower vehicles in designated passing lanes. This applies only on roads with a 55 mph or higher posted speed limit, in specific passing lanes designed for overtaking without crossing into opposing traffic, and excludes construction zones and city areas. Drivers must return to the posted speed limit as soon as safely possible after passing. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not apply to commercial vehicles or roads below 55 mph.
