What are Vermont’s speed limits?
My partner and I are taking a road trip to Vermont this summer, and he has a history of having a bit of a heavy foot. I don’t want to deal with speeding tickets this trip, so what are the speed limits in Vermont?
Andrea Barrett · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Having a heavy foot may get you places faster, but not necessarily safer—or cheaper. In
Vermont
, the speed limits are as follows:- Residential areas: 25 mph
- Individual (one-way) roads: 50 mph
- Divided roads: 55 mph
- Urban highways: 55 mph
- Rural highways or interstates: 65 mph
- Trucks: 65 mph
If you’re caught exceeding the speed limit in Vermont, tickets work a bit differently than in other states. Speeders are liable for a $47 surcharge plus a fine of $5 or $8 per mile per hour over the speed limit, plus another 15% of the total. The fine increases further if you’re caught speeding in a construction zone.
Speeders going at least 60 mph and exceeding the speed limit by a minimum of 30 mph face up to three months in jail and/or a maximum $300 fine for a first offense; a second offense will land you no more than six months in prison and/or a maximum fine of $500.
Although a speeding ticket may be a one-time payment, the insurance rate increases can last for years. But if you aren’t keen on paying insane premiums for a mistake, shop for insurance with
Jerry
. The Jerry app compares quotes from over 50 top insurers to find you the best rates on the coverage you need. Even with a speeding ticket on your record, you could save over $800 a year on car insurance using Jerry!
