What is the Virginia speed limit?
I’m headed out on a road trip, and I’m going to spend a substantial amount of time in Virginia. I want to make sure I don’t get a speeding ticket, as I’ve had a few in the past year or so. What’s the speed limit in Virginia?

If you don’t want to get a speeding ticket, note that the
Virginia
speed limit is 70 mph maximum, but only on the interstate. However, Virginia is one of the rare states that employs a variable speed limit. This means that the speed limit signs are electronic and can change based on traffic and weather.Outside of the interstate system, Virginia speed limits are as follows:
- 55 mph on state highways, U.S. highways, and county highways unless posted
- 35 mph on unpaved roads
- 25 mph in business districts, school zones, and residential areas
If you’re going on a trip through Virginia, use the
