BISMARCK — Motorists in North Dakota would be able to go a little faster on interstates under a bill introduced by a state lawmaker. Lonnie Laffen, a Republican state senator from Grand Forks, prefiled legislation to increase the speed limit on “access-controlled, paved and divided, multi-lane interstate highways” to 80 mph from 75 mph. He said it’s an effort to allow drivers to be more efficient on the roads, and pointed out vehicles have become safer over time.
