BILLINGS – The
speed limit on a deadly stretch of U.S. 212 in southeast Montana has
been reduced to 65 mph.
The “Billings
Gazette” reports that the Montana Department of Transportation
lowered the speed limit Oct. 1 on the highway’s corridor that passes through
both the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Reservations and four counties: Big Horn,
Rosebud, Powder River and Carter.
MDOT Traffic
and Safety Bureau chief Gabe Priebe says statistics show the stretch is the
deadliest highway in Montana.
