What does West Virginia's Basic Speed Law require of drivers?
West Virginia's Basic Speed Law requires drivers to travel at a speed that is safe for current road, traffic, and weather conditions, regardless of the posted speed limit. This means that drivers must be prepared to adjust their speed downward if conditions—such as rain, fog, heavy traffic, or road construction—make the standard speed limit unsafe.
