STURGIS, S.D. — South Dakota Transportation officials are considering several ideas to reduce traffic congestion during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
The rally in the western South Dakota town draws hundreds of thousands of people each year, along with hundreds of vendors.
The Rapid City Journal reports that the effort centers on reducing congestion on state Highway 34. Ideas include various lane changes and traffic signal changes on area streets and avenues. Department of Transportation engineer Todd Seaman says officials are focusing on the safety of both pedestrians and motorists.
The department held a public meeting in Sturgis on Monday and is taking public comments through the end of the month. Project engineer Monica Heller says some of the ideas likely will be tried out during this year's rally.
