Nighttime speed limit extended

snowmobiling speed limit at night is 55 mph

Madison – The Governor signed the nighttime speed limit bill into law on November 13, 2007. The speed limit expires June 2010.

The speed limit applies to all areas statewide from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise. “During this past snowmobile season 65% of our fatal accidents occurred at night and 65% were speed related. It’s a proven fact that night time speeds over 55 mph greatly reduced your ability to react in time to avoid a collision with a fixed object”, states Gary Eddy, Snowmobile Administrator for the Department of Natural Resources. “The speed limit will assist law enforcement with addressing unsafe night operation and is expected to reduce nighttime crashes which all too often results in injury accidents or fatalities.
