The House of Delegates voted 126-10 on Thursday for a measure sponsored by Delegate Wendell Beitzel, a Garrett County Republican.
The Senate voted 39-7 last month for a bill sponsored by Sen. George Edwards that does the same thing. The House passed the bill last year, but it stalled in the Senate.

wow guess that means they will be lowering it on the beltway. I think 80 or better is the average speed there.
What about 50
I'm not driving over 60 MPH. So there will be some angry people.
I just laugh when they go by.
And even laugh harder when I wave and they are sitting there with a state trooper.
Rt 50 ,??????
They must WANT people to die!
This is crazy.
I'm not driving over 60 MPH either,
I don't want to be killed or seriously insured in a car accident.
Too many people in a hurry these days. Mostly unimportant nobodies with nowhere to go, but in a big hurry to get there.
You country bumpkins are seriously funny. In civilized parts of the country, speed limits on highways have been at 70 or 75 for quite some time without any increase in accident or fatality rates.

Then you and 820 keep yourselves in the right lane. You can get killed going 30 you silly wabbits.
rt 50 will never have it's limit raised. To much revenue raised for the state off that highway. last time I checked it was well over $30 mil a year! got to love it!
You people are complete idiots...
The faster everyone drives, the more alert you are and less accidents happen...
You stupid people who think other wise, go look at the Germany autobahn, where people don't have to but are allowed to drive over 100 MPH and they don't have half the accidents we do here in the states...
You stupid clowns need to do your research before you jaw-jack and complain and say stupid stuff you obviously know noting about...
You people are to fat lazy and stupid to search online let alone to know how to open a book and read the words in it...
NO WONDER AMERICA IS DOOMED, it is not because of the politicians, it is because of the STUPID POPULOUS!!!!!
Speed limit is 65 and the idiots go 75 - 85. Now speed limit is going to 70. All these idiots will be going 85 - 90. Where is the logic on safety.
By the way all who thinks I am a "Country Bumpkin" you stay off the Eastern Shore. You have already ruined our way of life. You all have changed tis area because you wanted to come and live in a serene area out of the fast pace. Now you want to criticize us because we are not fast pace. If you don't like it on the Eastern Shore my slogan is the same as the one for our Country "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT"
I will tell you in person the same as I have done on several occasions to you asphalt junkies. I don't need a blog or computer to hide behind.
