Description
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is pleased to present this 2024 City Speed Limit Evaluation Report to the Legislature. As required by 2024 Laws of Minnesota, Chapter 104, Article 1, Section 106, the report summarizes a 2024 evaluation project to help determine the impact of 2019 legislation that allowed cities who met certain criteria to change speed limits within their jurisdiction without a MnDOT speed study or MnDOT approval.
Transportation safety remains both a challenge and a high priority for the state. Speeding is a significant contributing factor to fatalities and serious injury crashes, and transportation officials at all levels of government continue to look for strategies that help reduce crash numbers. This report helps identify the cities that implemented speed limit changes since 2019 and presents the results of a before-and-after comparison of speeds and crashes in cities that were included in the study. Summaries of other local, national, and international studies offer additional perspective.
