## Resource

Idaho’s highways are ditching split speed limits—trucks over 26,000 pounds can now legally hit 80 mph on select routes, aiming to smooth traffic and reduce crashes caused by speed gaps. But critics warn heavier trucks need more stopping distance and many tires aren’t rated for that speed, while governors often cap speeds anyway. Though the state approved the change narrowly, officials stress trucks still pose unique challenges—blind spots, slower speeds, and longer braking distances—so drivers must stay alert and responsible regardless of the new limit.
