What is Rhode Island’s maximum speed limit?

How fast can you drive on the interstate in Rhode Island? My mom always drives so fast, and I’m afraid she’ll get pulled over if she’s not careful.

In
Rhode Island
, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph on rural interstates and 55 mph everywhere else. Rural interstates have slightly higher maximum speed limits because there are fewer vehicles on the road and there are fewer turns, hills, and other obstacles that could pose a threat to speedy drivers.
Unfortunately, many drivers ignore the speed limit, particularly once they hit the interstate. It’s definitely possible that your mom could get pulled over. If this does happen, she’ll receive a minimum of a $205 fine, which is pretty harsh for a speeding ticket.
She’ll also see an increase in her ​​

rates. Luckily, the
