TRUCK TRACTOR MAX SPEED LIMIT

SB 226 establishes a 65 miles per hour maximum speed limit specifically for truck tractors on New Mexico highways. This directly affects commercial truck drivers and operators who operate these vehicles on state roads. The bill amends existing traffic laws to add this speed limit and sets a $250 penalty for violations, which is higher than standard speeding fines for other vehicles. The legislation aims to enhance safety by regulating truck speeds, with the penalty detailed in Section 66-8-116 of the Motor Vehicle Code.
