§Montana gave
us a contemporary real world validation that roads with maximum speed limits are not safer than those
without limits; with a 4 year data set of no
daytime limits that included every roadway
outside of a city limit, paved or unpaved, in an entire state.
§A speed limit sign is a safety device that must first have a demonstrated need per the MUTCD to be warranted.
§If posted speed limits demonstrated no safety value, then where is
the factual foundation required by law to post or
enforcement them.
§What we know is speeds did not change appreciably, but without limits there were positive behavioral changes and
accident levels reductions.
