Speed limit now 80 mph on Montana Interstate
Highways |
|
October 16, 2015 |
Since October 1, drivers on the Interstate
Highways in Montana are seeing new speed limits
of 80 mph.
The new speed limits are the result of
legislation signed last May by Montana Governor
Steve Bullock.
As the speed limits have gone up, so also have
the fines. Drivers who violate the new speed
limits will find higher fines assessed.
There will still be some areas of the
Interstates where the speed limit will be lower
than 80 mph. For example, Interstates passing
through some urban areas will have lower speed
limits. Also, areas where additional caution is
needed, such as the highway passing through
narrow canyons, or around sharp curves, or other
areas where extra care is required, may be
posted with lower speed limits.
Recent reports are that so far, since the change
occurred October 1, there has not been an
increase in the amount of speeding tickets
issued in Montana. |
