Acadia: 50
Theodore Roosevelt: 75
Death Valley: 65

I think that Yellowstone is 45 but it could be higher.

What is the highest speed limit in the other National Parks?

50 MPH in Yosemite on the Tioga Pass Road.  I believe it's 45 MPH on the Generals Highway in Sequoia/Kings Canyon.  Redwood National Park has a stub of US 101 signed at 65 MPH.

75 MPH through Petrified Forest National Park along I-40

Caps81943

As I don't think I-64 technically enters Shenandoah, I believe US-33's speed limit of (theoretically) 55 through the park is the highest. Good luck going 55 though, as most of the stretch is advisory curves of 20-35 mph.

70 on Ohio Turnpike, Cuyahoga Valley NP.

I remembered that one. That was the highest in any, this is the highest in every national park.

A sticky [F] key, obviously.
Get back on topic.

Alright, we'll head here then.
Different topic. That one was over as soon as someone said 75 in Teddy Roosevelt.

Yeah, I know... it is slightly different, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to post answers for this one in the other one. Just poking fun.

I don't believe CO-150 actually enters the park boundaries.  I'm not aware of any road within park boundaries that exceeds a 35mph speed limit.

Just going by the tan shaded region on Google Maps, it shows it does.  I could definitely be wrong though.

Ah, it apparently forms the boundary, so I guess that's a bit of an edge case.  (See what I did there?)  For the portion of the road completely within the park, it drops to 30 mph before that point–which is also where CO-150 ends.
