Relating to offense of driving above speed limit on controlled access highway or interstate highway

SB 553 modifies penalties for minor speeding violations on controlled-access highways and interstates in West Virginia. It specifies that drivers caught speeding 10 mph or less above the limit on these highways will face a maximum fine of $5 plus court costs, instead of the standard $100-$500 fines. This change applies only to highway speed violations (not school zones or other areas) and directly affects drivers who exceed the limit by a small margin. The bill does not alter speed limits but reduces administrative penalties for minor infractions on high-speed roadways.
