Yep, Montanna's "Prudent" Speed Limit was taken down in the Spring of 1997. We just got our 300TE wagon the previous fall of 1996, and the wife suggested we take a vacation through the National Parks in Utah and Montanna, while at the same time visiting her grandmother in Billings, Montanna.

The Montanna Autobahn was to be repealed at the end of May, so off we went. It was fabulous. 115-120 all day through Montanna, conditions permitting.

I was told the Federal Government threatened to withold the monies for roads if Montanna did NOT put up at least a 70MPH speed limit.


FWIW, in sparse stretches of Montanna road you can still go 90MPH and the cops don't mind, conditions permitting (e.g., you have Montanna plates) . . .
