How Fast is Too Fast on I-285?
Speed limit up to 65 mph, south of I-20; variable speed limits coming for northern portion next October.
Anyone who drives I-285 knows that speed limits are not always followed by drivers in a hurry.
The limits are changing to reflect a busy, fast-paced world. The Georgia Department of Transportation at noon Friday is raising the speed limit on the Perimeter from 55 mph to 65 mph south of I-20.
Next October, GDOT will introduce variable speed limits on I-285, north of I-20. Limits will range from 45 mph to 65 mph, based upon traffic.
