ROADS
State Highways 37 & 56, and US Hwy 2 all provide access to Libby. During winter months, travel by auto can be quite hazardous across the state because of slick roads and freezing temperatures. Be sure to check road conditions ahead of time, and carry emergency supplies: jumper cables, a shovel, sand or cat litter (for traction), food, water, candles and a sleeping bag for each person in the car. During the winter, travelers can call a toll-free telephone number for a daily updated Montana road condition report, 1-800-226-ROAD (1-800-226-7623) or call (406) 444-6339 for road condition and road construction reports. Weather reports for the Libby area can be obtained from the Kalispell office of the National Weather Service, (406) 755-4829.
   In 1999 Montana enacted a speed limit of 75 miles/hour on interstates and 70 mph on other highways. No more unlimited speeds on Montana roads. Speed Limit Info: http://visitmt.com/tripplanner/transportation/safety.htm

   The new law also requires motorists to operate their vehicles in a careful and prudent manner and at a reduced rate of speed, taking into account the traffic, weather, visibility and road conditions. Laws prohibiting careless or reckless driving also are in effect on Montana roads. These laws allow motorists to be stopped even if they are not exceeding the posted speed limit, if the speed at which they are traveling is considered too fast for conditions or dangerous to others on the road. The careful and prudent provision of the new law requires drivers to adjust their speeds according to the amount and character of traffic, visibility, weather and road conditions. For example, traffic may be heavy or light and may include trucks, cars, motor homes, farm equipment, and motorcycles. In addition, changing weather conditions may affect driver visibility and road conditions. These conditions may include fog or snow and road surface conditions such as water or ice. 
   Drivers should also be aware that wildlife can often be found on Montana roads, usually at the mosts unexpected time in the worst possible place. A black moose is very difficult to see on an unlit back road in the middle of the night when you're going 65 miles an hour. Deer often can be found next to roadways and jump out in front of vehicles.
   Many of Montana's roads do not have much in the way of shoulder to pull onto in the event of an emergency, so care should be taken in the event you need to get off the road. Log trucks can also be found on many Forest roads and should be given plenty of room. Truckers often broadcast their positions on CB channels to alert other people on the same road of their location.
