  • If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the  change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link},  to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well

    • In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.
  • See all FeedsPress parameters here.

    Template 1 – Horoscopes

    You could be called to put your tasks aside to help someone today. It can be frustrating at first to put your stuff on the backburner for someone else. Feel free to make a few sarcastic remarks (in your head) about the situation if it makes you feel better, Aquarius. Once done with that, stepping up to the plate has its benefits. By taking time to help other people, you are helping yourself, too. You could end up with a valuable opportunity to learn and grow — take it.

    Federal pressure is driving states to abandon the “85th percentile rule” for speed limits, raising alarms over increased regulation and potential government overreach on America’s roads.

    Story Snapshot

    • Federal agencies are pushing states to replace the long-standing “85th percentile rule” with new, more restrictive guidelines.
    • States like New York and California are piloting lower speed limits and expanded speed camera enforcement in urban areas.
    • Critics warn these changes may undermine local control, disrupt driver compliance, and lead to more government intrusion.
    • Trucking and driver groups express concern about new federal mandates and the economic impact of stricter limits.

    Federal Push Threatens State Authority Over Speed Limits

    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and other agencies have issued new guidance in 2025 pressuring states to reconsider the traditional “85th percentile rule”—a method that lets the typical, law-abiding driver help set appropriate speed limits. For decades, this system reflected American principles of local control and common sense: most drivers naturally select safe speeds, and limits set too low encourage mass noncompliance. Now, Washington is urging states to impose stricter limits based on factors like “community needs” and “equity,” signaling a possible shift toward top-down regulation that could erode the autonomy of states and drivers who know their roads best.

    States such as New York and California are piloting new frameworks to set lower limits, especially in school zones and city streets. These changes often come with expanded use of automated speed enforcement—speed cameras that ticket drivers without traditional police stops. Safety advocates and some urban planners argue these measures will reduce accidents and protect pedestrians. But many drivers, especially in suburban and rural areas, view the changes as excessive, fearing that lower speed limits and automated ticketing amount to a hidden tax and an infringement on personal responsibility. Resistance is growing as drivers adjust to more aggressive enforcement and new rules that may not reflect real-world traffic conditions or local preferences.

    Impact on Drivers, Truckers, and Local Communities

    The federal push for lower speed limits and stricter enforcement has broad implications for everyday Americans. Trucking companies face new compliance hurdles, such as proposed federal mandates for speed limiters on heavy vehicles, which could slow deliveries and increase costs across the supply chain. Law enforcement agencies must adapt to changing rules and public frustration. For residents in urban areas, the promise of safer streets is weighed against concerns about surveillance, fines, and bureaucratic overreach. In rural America, where higher speeds are often necessary due to longer distances and open roads, the new approach feels disconnected from local realities and threatens to undermine the trust between citizens and government.

    Economic impacts also loom large: stricter limits may reduce crash costs, but the costs of enforcement, compliance, and potential insurance changes could affect family budgets and small businesses. Politically, the changes have sparked debate over the proper balance of state versus federal power, reviving concerns about Washington imposing “one-size-fits-all” mandates that disregard the unique needs of communities across the nation.

    Expert Analysis and Ongoing Debate

    Transportation safety experts generally support context-sensitive speed limits that consider land use, crash history, and vulnerable road users. However, some engineers caution that lowering limits too far below what most drivers consider reasonable could backfire, leading to widespread noncompliance and strained police resources. Professional organizations now advocate for more holistic methods, but the transition is uneven—some states remain committed to the 85th percentile approach, citing its proven track record in maintaining order and respecting drivers’ judgment. Ongoing pilot programs and legislative reviews will determine whether the new federal guidance becomes the national norm or fuels further resistance among states determined to protect their autonomy and values.

    As these reforms roll out, the debate will likely intensify. Americans who value limited government, local control, and common sense on the road see the dismantling of the 85th percentile rule as another example of unnecessary regulation, raising questions about the future of personal freedom and state rights in transportation policy.
