Who Do I Contact?
If you believe that there is a safety concern or an inappropriate speed limit posted, the person to contact depends on the type of road.
Trunk highways
For regulatory and advisory speed limits on the trunk highway system, you may contact the district traffic engineer at your Mn/DOT district office.
The trunk highway system includes:
Interstate Highways
U.S. Highways
Minnesota State Highways
Local streets and highways
For these roadways, you may contact your local road authority (county, city or township).
For advisory speed limits: The local road authority can determine these advisory speeds and post the plates without authorization from the commissioner of transportation.
For regulatory speed limits: The local road authority can pass a resolution requesting an investigation by Mn/DOT. Based upon the results, Mn/DOT may then authorize the local road authority to post new speed limits.
