I just bought my first car after moving to Colorado. In the past, I had a few speeding tickets, but this time around, I’m going to be a bit more cautious. What’s the speed limit in Colorado?
! The Colorado speed limit varies based on where you are, but the maximum speed limit in Colorado is 75 mph on certain stretches of the interstate. Other Colorado speed limits are as follows:
Blind curves and winding mountain roads: 20 mph
Business districts: 25 mph
Residential districts: 30 mph
Open mountain highways: 40 mph
Highways that aren’t part of the interstate system or have less than four lanes: 55 mph
Four-lane state highways and urban stretches of interstate: 65 mph
Keeping below the speed limit is important to prevent a speeding ticket, which in turn keeps your car insurance premiums low. If you happen to get a speeding ticket, you’re likely to see your car insurance premiums increase. But before you pay more, use the
