In 1974, the United States instituted a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour (mph), a move that generated a great deal of controversy. Proponents of the lower speed limit managed to avoid repeal of this national speed limit by effectively arguing that driving at 55 mph significantly reduced the number of traffic fatalities on U.S. highways. The argument was based on the fact that the total number of traffic fatalities dropped from 55,511 in 1973 to only 46,402...
