Subd.
2. Speed
limits. (a) Where no special hazard
exists the following speeds shall be lawful, but any speeds in excess of such
limits shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or
prudent and that it is unlawful; except that the speed limit within any
municipality shall be a maximum limit and any speed in excess thereof shall be
unlawful:
(1) 30
miles per hour in an urban district or on a town road in a rural residential
district;

miles per hour on noninterstate expressways, as defined in section 160.02,

subdivision 19;
(3) 55
miles per hour in locations other than those specified in this section;
(4) 70
miles per hour on interstate highways outside the limits of any urbanized area
with a population of greater than 50,000 as defined by order of the
commissioner of transportation;
(5) 65
miles per hour on interstate highways inside the limits of any urbanized area
with a population of greater than 50,000 as defined by order of the
commissioner of transportation;
(6) 65
miles per hour on noninterstate highways that are outside the limits of any
urbanized area with a population of greater than 50,000 as defined by order of
the commissioner, and that are not specified in clause (2), except that the

(7) ten miles
per hour in alleys; and
(7) (8) 25 miles
per hour in residential roadways if adopted by the road authority having
jurisdiction over the residential roadway.
(b) A speed
limit adopted under paragraph (a), clause (7) (8), is not
effective unless the road authority has erected signs designating the speed
limit and indicating the beginning and end of the residential roadway on which
the speed limit applies.
(c) For
purposes of this subdivision, "rural residential district" means the
territory contiguous to and including any town road within a subdivision or
plat of land that is built up with dwelling houses at intervals of less than
300 feet for a distance of one-quarter mile or more.
(d)
Notwithstanding section 609.0331 or 609.101 or other law to the contrary, a
person who violates a speed limit established in this subdivision, or a speed
limit designated on an appropriate sign under subdivision 4, 5, 5b, 5c, or 5e,
by driving 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable speed limit,
is assessed an additional surcharge equal to the amount of the fine imposed for
the speed violation, but not less than $25.
(e) The
commissioner may reduce the speed limit under paragraph (a), clause (6), as
provided under subdivisions 4 or 5, if the commissioner identifies specific
traffic safety factors on that segment of road that have a substantive negative
impact directly due to the speed limit.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2011."
