Wyoming officials can lower unpaved road speeds

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming local authorities can lower speed limits on qualifying unpaved roads without a speed study. Permanent limits set this way cannot fall below 35 miles per hour. Temporary limits can be lower than 35 miles per hour for up to one year, also without a study. Reasons include construction, maintenance, special events, emergencies, and changes in road use. Before setting these temporary limits, officials must consult their engineer or road and bridge superintendent and local law enforcement. Local authorities can set limits above or below the otherwise allowed maximum on roads within their jurisdiction. Limits must be reasonable, safe, and follow Wyoming Department of Transportation rules. The department must adopt needed rules using standards consistent with national practice, without requiring studies for qualifying unpaved-road limits. That rulemaking requirement took effect when the act became law.
