70:01:02:49(15) -- Meade County speed zone rule

A Sturgis Motorcycle Rally-related 45 mph temporary limited speed zone on South Dakota Highway 79 beginning at its intersection with South Dakota Highway 34 then North for 1.5 miles is being extended an additional .25 mile North to encompass the area of the approach for the entrance to the Iron Horse Campground in order to improve traffic safety in this location where a significant number of vehicles are entering and leaving the highway. The effective beginning date for this temporary 45 mile per hour limited speed zone on South Dakota Highway 79 is being changed from July 24 of each year to the Thursday preceding the first full weekend in August. The official Rally week begins the Monday following the first full weekend in August. The ending date for this temporary limited speed zone is being changed from August 15 to the Sunday of the second full weekend in August, which is the ending date of the official Rally week each year. The change in dates is being made to more closely align the effective period of the temporary reduced speed zone to the dates of the heaviest Rally-related traffic, while minimizing the impact on normal traffic in the area.
