The process to update the road signs is about to begin.Kirk Hoff is the design engineer at the North Dakota Department of Transportation. He said the process is rather simple and shouldn’t impact traffic too much.“It’ll be just traffic control; I think they’ll have a shoulder closure,” said Hoff. “Most of them, we’re simply taking a sign down and placing the 80 up.”The process has technically already started, with some speed limits already reduced in some areas. But while that process has been easy, they had to think about what to do around areas with rougher terrain.“We do have a few areas of concern where the horizontal curves don’t meet 80 miles an hour, particularly in the Badlands area,” said Hoff. “We’ll put it at 70 miles an hour through the Badlands.”They also had some concerns around the more urbanized areas, where there is heavier traffic merging and diverging.“We don’t want to go to 80 miles an hour there, so we’ll put it at 70 miles an hour through those communities, and the communities that will be added to that would be Dickinson, Jamestown, Valley City and Grand Forks,” said Hoff.Once the speed limit changes officially on Aug. 1, the 3D Specialties company will be installing the new signs.The process is estimated to take about two weeks.Why the F did they even increase the limit??</blockquote>
