Lakes/limits (SPEED)
 

Just about to book a room at Lake Winnipesaukee's, the Naswa, for the Land and Lake Poker Run benefited by Easter Seals Foundation. Speed limit on the lake is 45 MPH. Is everybody going to get speeding tickets that day, or what? What's the norm during a run on a lake that has speed limits? Still gonna go, it's for a good cause. But wondering what to expect.

Sorry but I herd it went threw 45 day,25night. Believe me I hope I'am wrong. That run is July 8th if anybody is interested.

There is NO current speed limit on Winni now. Even if the law passes, it will not take effect untill Jan/2007. Feel free to enjoy the lake.It is a great place to boat.

It passed thru the sub committe and was recommended, final vote due an couple weeks - doesn't look good. Please do us a favor and call the Nazwa and tell them you want to cancel if passes. Spend your money in Maine. Tell all your friends to do the same.
PM203, I think it would take effect this year.

CMG,
If you read the proposed bill, the effective date would be 1/1/2007 if it passed.Yes, it has gone through the committee ,but still has to clear the legislature and then be signed by the governor.Current chances at passing are 50/50 right now .
