dennyMontana state press release: "In 1999, after 4 years of no numerical or posted daytime speed limit on these classifications of highways, outside of urban areas, Montana recorded its lowest fatality rate. For the last 5 months of no daytime limits in Montana [...] reported fatal accident rate declined to a record low. Fixed speed limits were reinstated on Memorial Day weekend 1999. Since then, fatal accidents have begun to rise again."
Sounds like the statistics might have been a bit selectively interpreted to me - why only the last five months, odd number to choose - but still interesting.
