Bozeman one step closer to seeing slower speed limits on city streets

The city says they want to work with MDT and other large cities across the state to give them more flexibility to set speed limits.

Following the death of beloved Bozeman High School teacher Kelly Fulton on his bicycle in October 2022, residents pushed city leaders to lower speed limits across Bozeman streets. City leaders took that one step closer Tuesday night to lowering speed limits across the city, including streets like Ferguson Avenue.

“Ferguson Ave. will be our largest reduction. That’s currently 35 miles per hour. It will be dropped to 30 miles per hour,” says Bozeman Transportation and Engineering Director Nick Ross.
