Florida Truck Speed Limit
Florida runs 70 on rural interstates and the Turnpike, 65 through most urban stretches, and trucks get the same limit (Fla. Stat. § 316.183). No split. There's a floor too: 50 mph minimum where the interstate is posted 70, so a governed truck creeping along can get a ticket. Keep right — move out of the left lane when a faster vehicle comes up behind you (Fla. Stat. § 316.081). Fines double in a work zone with workers present and in a school zone.
