The national 55 mph speed limit was partially repealed in 1987, when they began allowing 65 mph on rural interstates. It was fully repealed in 1995. Please refer to the graph below as to the horrible human toll taken by the increased speeds.
I understand that this is nationwide. Forgive me, but I cannot find a similar graph for NH, but it would certainly display the same trend.
