News » Night snowmobiling speed limit moves forward
Mar. 5, 2010
A state lawmaker's proposal to implement a permanent 55-mile-an-hour night-time speed limit for snowmobilers is taking a step forward.
Rep. Dean Kaufert of Neenah says since they put a temporary limit in place four years ago, fatalities have dropped 40 percent.
The Republican lawmaker says the temporary speed limit is set to expire before the start of the next snowmobiling season, so they need to act now. The assembly did just that, passing the permanent rule last night, unanimously.
The measure now goes to the state senate.
Kaufert says it's a great example of the state doing something on a trial basis, and having it work. |
