Did anybody actually read the article in OP? In some states, it's as simple as setting new speed limits in cities, or allowing trucks to go 65 mph in certain sections in California (where truckers already go that fast).
The big holdup for raising speed limits is financial. Federal highway funds get cut off if a state raises speed limits above certain levels. That's also how the .08% DUI law was adopted in all 50 states.
