Not true.

The default state 55 mph limit was rescinded a number of years back and signs were changed on many roads upstate increasing the limit to 65 mph or even 70 mph.

You may be confused by the fact that when the 55 mph law went into effect all signs were changed to say "55 mph State Speed Limit." But when the law was repealed, those signs remained and never were removed unless the speed limit was raised on that portion of the highway.

Guess our legislators felt it was a waste of money to change signs if the speed limit remained unchanged. But they didn't feel that was the case when the lower limit went into effect. Perhaps they believed that the law would come back one day, but it hasn't.
