Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to set a specific speed limit on a particular segment of a highway in Beltrami County, Minnesota, to enhance safety and consistency in traffic regulation.

Main Provisions

• Establishment of Speed Limit: The bill introduces a speed limit of 30 miles per hour on the section of Beltrami County State-Aid Highway 20, specifically between the intersection with Beltrami County State-Aid Highway 21 and the entrance to Lake Bemidji State Park.

• Signage Requirement: It mandates that appropriate signs be erected to inform drivers of the new speed limit. This task is assigned to the county engineer.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.14, by adding a specific subdivision that sets the speed limit for this section of the highway. Normally, the speed limits would follow general state regulations, but this bill provides an exception for the specified area on Highway 20.
