This bill establishes a specific speed limit for a segment of Beltrami County State-Aid Highway 20, amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.14. The new subdivision, designated as Subd. 5k, sets the speed limit at 30 miles per hour from the intersection with Beltrami County State-Aid Highway 21 to the entrance of Lake Bemidji State Park. It mandates that the county engineer is responsible for erecting appropriate signage to inform drivers of this speed limit.
Additionally, the bill includes an effective date provision, stating that the new section will take effect the day after final enactment, while the speed limit will be enforced once the required signs are in place. This legislative change aims to enhance safety on this particular stretch of highway, especially considering its proximity to a state park.
