Beltrami County has received authorization from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to post new speed limits on four County roads. The new speed limits are the result of recent speed studies completed by MnDOT at the County's request. The Beltrami County Highway Department will be installing new speed limit signs within the next couple weeks.
The affected roads are County Road 402 ( Oak Hills Rd SE), Co Rd 46 (Oak Hills Rd SW), Co Rd 20 (Birchmont Beach Rd NE), and Co Rd 19 (Lake Ave NE and New Bass Rd NE). Please watch for the newly posted speed limits along these sections of roadway.
The Beltrami County Highway Department would like to remind drivers that it is each person's duty to drive with due care. No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than what is reasonable and prudent under the conditions. We are asking motorists to use caution on the newly assigned speed zones during the transition.
Please contact us at 333-8173 if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
