Travelers driving through Riding Mountain National Park will likely have noticed a speed limit change on a portion of Highway 10.

The stretch between kilometre markers 5 and 12 - which includes the portion of the highway that goes past the boat launch and the Clear Lake Golf Course, has seen the speed limit dropped to 60 km an hour as of August 1st.

An article in the Brandon Sun says it is a temporary change, and were put into place to protect drivers and wildlife from collisions.

It adds the speed reduction will be readjusted once there is no longer an elevated risk to wildlife along the highway.
