New Year, new laws.
California drivers are being warned to be on high alert as possible changes to highway speed limits come into effect from Thursday.
A new speed enforcement law, which will be enforced from Jan. 1, allows the Department of Transport to reduce the limit on highways by 5mph across the Golden State.
Currently, the speed limit on the state’s highways is set at 65mph unless otherwise posted.
It wasn’t clear which highways would be immediately effected but signage is expected to be updated on the roadways that will now see the reduced 60mph limit.
