Interstate or not - what is your preference?

[Merlin]

I looked up state speed limits when towing and found AAA had info on their web site. Four states, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ohio have 55 mph speed limits when towing. Pennsylvania has a 65 mph speed limit. Lots of other states have various towing rules, like Oregon, where you have to stay in the right lane on the Interstate if your total rig weighs over 8000 lbs.

In Canada, I noted that New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have towing speed limits of 80 km/h. In my ignorance, I'm sure I exceeded 50 mph at times when traveling through NB last summer. Oops.

Good to know!

Hi Merlin, New Brunswick really have a towing limit of 80 km/h (50mph)? That is news to me and is probably not enforced because I often tow at 100 kmh  (62mph) also on some road the speed limit is 110kmh and I see people towing at that speed often, I don't my personal limit is 100kmh. I was never pulled over towing at 100kmh in NB. Where did you found that info?

In my research I have found this it says the limit in NB is posted limit. Only in BC it's 80kmh according to this site http://www.trucktrend.com/features/travel/163-1312-towing-rules-and-regulations-in-canada/

Edit: also found on the AAA website where it state towing limit is 80kmh for NB. I wonder which site is right

Laws may be different in Canada, but it seems that enforcing an unposted speed limit would be difficult.

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse"?

If it takes this much research effort to find it, I'll take my chances.

I guess the provincial department of motor vehicles would be the authoritative source.
