Friday, May 14, 1943.
The United States Public Roads Administration reported that only a few states were observing the 35 mph wartime highway "Victory Speed Limit" imposed by the Federal Government.
35mph is slow, but not quite as slow as it would now be regarded. Most cars were lower geared than they presently are, and pickup trucks were very much so. Many state highways were narrow single lane highways at the time.
