Explanation
In California, the maximum speed limit on most highways is 65 mph unless otherwise posted. Drivers must never exceed the speed limit and should reduce their speed when there is heavy traffic, bad weather, or unsafe road conditions. This follows California’s "Basic Speed Law," which states that drivers must always travel at a safe speed based on current conditions, regardless of the posted limit.
