What is the Montana speed limit?

I’m going to take a road trip through Montana. In the past, I’ve had a bit of a lead foot, so I want to be aware of the speed limit before I arrive. What is the speed limit in Montana?

It’s good that you’re preparing for driving in a different state! The
Montana
speed limit is a maximum of 80 mph—however, this speed limit only pertains to rural stretches of the interstate. Urban stretches of the interstate, such as those found in Billings, Great Falls, and Missoula, all have a maximum speed limit of 65 mph on the interstate.
Other Montana speed limits that you should take note of are:
  • 25 mph in residential areas unless otherwise posted
  • 65 mph to 70 mph on two-lane highways
  • 75 mph on rural highways
If you’re going to take a road trip to Montana, you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
. Montana is one of the largest and most rural states in the country, so some added peace of mind can go a long way. Before you leave, use the
