What’s West Virginia’s speed limit?

Does West Virginia have a standard speed limit for the highway, or is the speed limit different everywhere? I feel like most speed limits are pretty standardized, but I’m not positive.

Like most states,
West Virginia
has a different maximum speed limit for different types of roads:
  • Rural interstates: 70 mph
  • Urban interstates: 55 mph
  • Other limited access roads: 65 mph
  • All other roads: 55 mph
While the speed limit may vary from location to location depending on the road shape, condition, and overall safety, these are the hard speed limits on each road type in West Virginia. As such, you’ll probably see these speed limits more often than other speed limits.
