The bridges in houston in the winter when the wind would cause them to turn into sheets of ice were more entertaining. People in their big trucks going up… and sliding back down sometimes on the same side they were trying to climb. ---

Starting from the Transit exit/onramp going towards Albany, it should be 75mph. I just drove from there to Rochester and kept a steady pace of about 75-78 and had cars passing me constantly. Those that weren’t were matching the speed I was doing. I only passed a handful of cars that were doing 70ish. 55mph low and 75mph high. I’d be happy. ---

Didn’t see this yet > Drivers in the state of NY may be able to pick up the pace on the Empire State’s roads if a bill from freshman Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda gets passed. Sepulveda submitted a bill that would see speed limits raised from 65 to 75 miles per hour, statewide. > New York would join 16, mostly Western, states in setting its freeway speeds above 70 miles per hour, and it would be the 35th state to kick its speed limit up to 70 mph since 1995, when the national speed limit was repealed. Individual counties would still be able to set lower speed limits, according to The Buffalo News_._ > It’s still too early in the legislative process to tell whether the bill will gain traction with lawmakers, but at the moment, it’s lacking a sponsor in the Senate. New York’s move comes almost a year to the day of the [85-mph speed limit along Texas’ State Highway 130](http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/29/texans-go-hog-wild-on-first-night-of-85-mph-tollway-four-accide/) went into effect. > **[New York may raise maximum speed limit to 75 mph - Autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/01/new-york-may-raise-maximum-speed-limit-75-mph/)** > > Drivers in the state of New York may be able to pick up the pace on the Empire State's roads if a bill from freshman Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda gets passed.

If you know who the sponsor is, you can look up the status of any bill on their NY Assembly site.
