The bill revises the authority of the Transportation Commission regarding the setting of speed limits. It specifically allows the Transportation Commission to reassess and reset speed limits that were previously established by the Commission. This change aims to provide greater flexibility and responsiveness in managing speed limits in response to changing conditions or safety concerns.
Additionally, the bill amends Section 61-8-309 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these new provisions. The amendments are intended to enhance the Commission's ability to ensure that speed limits are appropriate and effective for current traffic and road conditions.
