- Does not have aggressive driving funding.
- Does not have automated speed enforcement.
- Only allows automated red light cameras by local ordinance.
- Has a speed limit of 70 mph on rural interstates and 55 mph on urban interstates.
- Has a super speeder law that adds $200 to the cost of a ticket for a driver found to be going more than 75 mph on a two lane road or more than 85 mph on a multi-lane road.
