SECTION, A POSTED MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT LAWFULLY IN EFFECT
ON DECEMBER 31, 1974, IS A MAXIMUM LAWFUL SPEED EVEN IF
IT DIFFERS FROM A LIMIT SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF
THIS SECTION.
(D) ALTERATION OF LIMITS.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (E) OF THIS
SECTION, A MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION
(3) OF THIS SECTION OR IN EFFECT UNDER SUBSECTION (C) OF
THIS SECTION MAY BE ALTERED AS PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE.
(E) LIMITS MAY NOT EXCEED 55 MILES AN HOUR.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
SUBTITLE, A MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT OF MORE THAN 55 MILES AN
HOUR MAY NOT BE ESTABLISHED OR CONTINUED ON ANY HIGHWAY
IN THIS STATE.
REVISOR'S NOTE; This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-801 (b) and (c).
In subsection (b) of this section, the present
references to districts "of urban areas" are
deleted as unnecessarily confusing in light of
the specific definitions of "business
district" and "residential district". Also,
the term "undivided highways" is substituted
for the less clear "ordinary highways".
In subsection (b) (2) of this section, the
defined term "residential district" is
substituted for "residential section" to
conform to the terminology of the rest of the
section.
Subsection (c) of this section is revised to
clarify that continuation of any prior lawful
limit is nevertheless subject to the 55 m.p.h.
ceiling established under subsection (e) of
this section. For the same purpose, the words
"or continued" are added in subsection (e).
In subsection (d) of this section, the phrase
"or in effect under subsection (c)..." is
added for clarity since even these limits may
be altered as provided elsewhere in this
subtitle. See, e.g., §§21-802(b) and
21-803(a)(2) of this subtitle.
Present §11—801(b)(5), which provides for a 55
m.p.h. limit on interstate highways, is
deleted as obsolete and redundant. All
interstate highways are divided and,
therefore, covered by the 55 m.p.h. limit
established by subsection (b)(4) of this
section.
