## Resource

Idaho just unified its highway speed limits for all vehicles, lifting the 70 mph cap on big trucks starting July 1st—now they can legally cruise up to 80 mph on key routes like I-84 east of Boise and parts of I-86 and I-15. Supporters say equal speeds reduce confusion and accidents, while critics warn faster trucks could pose new risks, especially given their massive stopping distances and existing governors. The state’s DOT is closely tracking crash data, noting past increases in commercial vehicle accidents after similar speed hikes. Bottom line: posted limits changed, but truck physics haven’t—stay alert, keep distance, and don’t assume everyone’s moving at the same pace.
