The Missouri Department of Transportation will be reducing the speed limit on Highway 63 from 70mph to 65mph between the Boone/Randolph county line to the southern city limits of Kirksville. There is already a stretch of highway between Jacksonville and Macon that has a 65mph speed limit. This change will help make things more consistent for drivers and if an accident does happen, it would lessen the severity of the crash. The travel time will be slightly longer, and it will now take about 80-90 seconds longer which is well worth it if it helps prevent you from being in a serious accident.
