Representatives, Missoula County supports HB 120 – Revise local government authority of certain speed limits, on the House floor tomorrow morning and thanks Representative Curdy for carrying the bill. When considering safe and appropriate vehicle speeds, county commissioners are currently limited to speed limits no lower than 35 mph on paved county roads and 25 mph on dirt roads. Many subdivisions in unincorporated areas have densities that warrant a 25 mph speed limit to ensure the safety of citizens, but current statute only allows the speed limit be set at 35 mph. HB 120 only allows these changes on county roads.
