(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong made the state’s jump to an 80 mph speed limit official Monday, signing a bill that also raises fines for speeding.
“This bill strikes a reasonable balance by aligning North Dakota’s interstate speed limit with two of our three neighboring states and increasing fines as a deterrent to speeding,” Armstrong said in a statement.
On Aug. 1, North Dakota will join neighbors South Dakota and Montana at 80 mph on interstate highways. The top speed limit in Minnesota is 70 mph.
Gov. Doug Burgum in 2023 vetoed a bill to increase the speed limit to 80 mph
