What is the Massachusetts speed limit?

I do a lot of driving, but I’m nervous about speeding. How fast do I need to go to pass the Massachusetts speed limit?

Joshua Levy · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
In
Massachusetts
, the speed limit is 65 miles per hour on freeways.
Speed limits vary from state to state, so it’s important to look up the local laws of whatever state you’re visiting to avoid tickets.
Punishments for speeding can vary drastically depending on the following factors:
  • Speed
  • Location
  • State
  • Traffic
In some states, speeding can qualify as reckless driving if you go over a certain limit, which can significantly increase your insurance costs.
Speeding tickets can have a big impact on your car insurance rates, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find an affordable premium. For help finding the lowest available rates on the car insurance you need, try

How much does it cost to convert a fireplace to an electric?
Our new home has a wood-burning fireplace and while I like the look of it, I don’t like all the work it takes to build a fire. I think an electric fireplace would be so much easier. How much does it cost to convert a fireplace to an electric?

Can an insurance broker's fee be negotiated?
I've been shopping for car and home insurance with various agencies. I've noticed that the quoted premiums are about the same, regardless of the agency, but the broker's fee can be as low as $100 and as high as $350. Can the broker's fee be negotiated?
