The Minnesota Department of Transportation is finishing a five-year study and increasing speed limits from 55 to 60 miles an hour on over three-quarters of the two-lane, rural state highways in Minnesota.  Engineering specialist Nathan Drews says setting more “realistic” speed limits which more drivers obey, might actually reduce crashes — and data show it certainly will not *increase* crash numbers

Drews says studies show that drivers going under or over the speed limit get in the most crashes.
