The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is responsible for setting the speed limits on state highways, but certain maximums apply to certain types of roadways throughout the state. The maximum speed limit on interstates is 70 miles per hour. On a four-lane divided highway outside an urban area (with a population of 5,000 or more), the maximum speed limit is 65 miles per hour. On all other state highways, the maximum speed limit is 60 miles per hour.
The speed limit for roads on residential and/or business districts within city municipalities can be no higher than 60 miles per hour.
