Slow Down, Montana! Safe, Cautious Driving Saves Lives
Speeding and other reckless driving behaviors create unsafe conditions for you and
others traveling Montana’s roads. Even if you are abiding by posted speed limits, you
can still be traveling too fast for safety – particularly in inclement weather, low/no light
conditions, or around emergency response or work zone sites. One simple and
effective way to protect all roadway users is to lower your speed when driving a motor
vehicle. In the event of a crash, the higher the speed of the vehicle(s) involved, the
more deadly the collision – especially when a vulnerable roadway user is involved(pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, etc.). While driving a motor vehicle, remember to
always follow posted speed limits, adjusting your speed as needed for current
conditions, and keep your focus on the road ahead and the task of driving to help
ensure we all reach our destinations safely. To learn more about safe drivingbehaviors and how you can help Montana reach the goal of Vision Zero, visit
