SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 9

(By Senator Bailey)




Requiring that the laws of the state of West Virginia regarding the minimum speed allowance for motor vehicles utilizing the left lane of all four-lane highways throughout the state be enforced.

Resolved by the Senate:
That the law-enforcement officers of the state of West Virginia are hereby directed to enforce the laws of the state regarding the minimum speed allowance on our four-lane highway systems; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the secretary of transportation, the superintendent of the division of public safety and the sheriff's departments of the fifty-five counties in West Virginia.
