Bozeman looking at reducing speed limits
March 24, 2023 /
While presenting to the Transportation Board this week, Ross said a 10% decrease in speed has been found to be associated with up to a 38% decrease in fatalities and a 27% decrease in serious injuries.
The city is reviewing speed limits throughout the city as part of an effort to improve road safety, following the death of two cyclists last year.
“As speed increases, the likelihood of death or fatality risk of impacts exponentially increases as well,” Nick Ross, the city’s transportation and engineering director, said during a meeting this week. “There’s a big difference of just a few miles per hour as we assign them on the street.”
