¿Te fastidia el límite de las 55 mph? Conoce su historia

Muchos creen que las 55 mph son una medida de seguridad, cuando en realidad fue creada simplemente para obligar a los conductores a economizar gasolina. La foto, de 1973, muestra el momento en que unos empleados de carreteras bajaban el límite de velocidad al poner un 55 encima de un 70.

 

Esta semana en el 1973 el gobierno federal impuso un límite de velocidad a nivel nacional de 55 millas por hora. Por consiguiente, todos los estados tuvieron que bajar la velocidad máxima permitida en sus expresos a las famosas 55 mph.

Contrario a lo que muchos piensan, las 55 mph jamás fueron una medida de seguridad sino más bien de economía. Para el 1973 hubo un fuerte embargo petrolero que disparó el precio de la gasolina y hasta la racionaron. Así que para obligar a los ciudadanos a economizarla, el gobierno federal forzó a los conductores a manejar más lento. 
La foto muestra el momento en que unos empleados de carreteras bajaban el límite de velocidad al poner un 55 encima de un 70.
La ley fue eliminada parcialmente en el 1987 cuando el gobierno federal les permitió a los estados subir el límite a 65 mph en ciertos expresos. En el 1995 fue abolida por completo y se les regresó a los gobiernos estatales la facultad de dictaminar sus propios límites.
Hoy en día hay varios estados que permiten velocidades de 80 mph, mientras que Texas es el único con un límite de 85 mph en algunos expresos.
