Speed & Conditions
Posted limits are set for ideal conditions. Nebraska's Basic Speed Law also requires you to slow down when traffic, weather, or the road makes the posted limit unsafe.
Speed limits
Nebraska posts a maximum of 75 mph on rural interstate highways, with lower limits on expressways, two-lane highways, and in towns. Always obey the posted signs, which may be lower than the maximum.
Basic Speed Law
Never drive faster than is reasonable and safe for current conditions, even when that speed is below the posted limit. Adjust for traffic, weather, curves, and visibility.
Winter driving and merging
Snow and ice greatly increase stopping distance, so slow down, leave extra space, and avoid cruise control. When entering an interstate, use the ramp to reach traffic speed and merge into an open gap.
