Mobridge Speed Limits - Mobridge has
designated speed limits by ordinance on all public streets
within its corporate boundaries. State law provides for
designation of speed limits outside those boundaries. By State
law, officers may enforce municipal speed ordinance up to one
mile outside of the corporate boundaries of the City of
Mobridge. Officers may enforce state speed law anywhere within
the boundaries of the State of South Dakota. Below is a street
map of the City of Mobridge, which shows the streets
color-coded for the different speed limits set by municipal
ordinance and state law. Mobridge Municipal Ordinance
designates that all streets within the corporate boundaries of
the City shall be 20 MPH (Twenty Miles Per Hour), unless
otherwise posted. The Mobridge Main
Street Business District is now posted at 15 MPH (Fifteen
Miles Per Hour). This includes the 100 Block through 500 Block
of Main Street.

Stop
Signs - By Mobridge Municipal Ordinance, it shall be
unlawful for any operator to disobey the instructions of any
official traffic sign or signal. The instruction of a stop
sign is defined by state law. Unless directed to proceed by
a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a
vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop
sign shall come to a full stop at a clearly marked stop line,
but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of
the intersection, or if none, then at the point nearest the
intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of
approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before
entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver
shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered
or is approaching the intersection from another highway and
may not proceed into the intersection until certain that such
intersecting roadway is free from oncoming traffic which may
affect safe passage. A violation of this section is a Class 2
misdemeanor. This means the forward momentum of the
vehicle must completely cease. Slowing down for a stop sign
and rolling through the intersection if no other vehicles are
present or stopping for a split-second and then immediately
accelerating again, without having stopped for an amount of
time to sufficiently determine that it is safe to proceed,
is a violation of Mobridge Municipal Ordinance and SD State
Law and is a threat to the safety of pedestrians and other
motorists.
