What is the New Jersey speed limit?

I was planning on driving from New York City to Philadelphia for a hockey game. I’ve never driven through New Jersey before, and a speeding ticket would definitely put a damper on my trip. What’s the speed limit in New Jersey?

The
New Jersey
speed limit is a maximum of 65 mph, but this only pertains to certain stretches of the interstate. Because New Jersey is so densely populated, this speed limit can change rather quickly, so always keep an eye out.
Other speed limits in New Jersey are as follows:
  • 55 mph on New Jersey State Highways
  • 35 mph in business districts
  • 25 mph in residential areas
If you want to upgrade to front-row seats for the hockey game, a great place to start saving is by comparing car insurance quotes with the
