Speed – Drive for the Conditions • Safe speed to drive = fits the actual
road conditions, not the “ideal” road conditions.
• A car traveling 40 mph takes 770 feet to stop on ice.
• Daytime speed limit for a car on the interstate in Montana is 80 mph, and 70 mph on two-lane roads.
• Work plans and driving schedules should factor in poor weather conditions and safety hazards, in addition to distance and traffic considerations.
