Speed limits, project planning and new rules will highlight Idaho Transportation Board’s September meeting Speed limits, ITIP approval, and consideration of new rules will highlight next week’s Idaho Transportation Board meeting in McCall. Tour The board will travel to McCall on ID-55 for its business meeting on September 12 at the Northfork Lodge. 80 mph speed limits The observed vehicle speeds and crash experience since raising the speed limit on these routes indicates operations have remained relatively unchanged from prior conditions and that the higher 80 mph speed limit is appropriate and should remain unchanged at this time. Recommended FY20-26 Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) Assuming the Recommended ITIP is approved by the board next week, it will then be submitted for federal approval. Rule Revisions Last month, the board approved revisions to 11 rules addressing issues such as the issuance of certificates of title, registration and permit fee administration, names on drivers’ licenses and identification cards, traffic control devices, and outdoor advertising. Next week, three dockets will be presented to the board for approval. The first one, Rules Governing Issuance of Certificates of Title, was presented last month, but new language was added. It consolidates five rules. Two rules are being combined into the Rules Governing License Plate Provisions, and eight rules covering aeronautics issues are being consolidated into one rule, Rules Governing Aeronautics and Aviation.
