MINNDOT Looking At Rumble Strips

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is giving some consideration to International Falls request for rumble strips down sections of some highways in their area.

Councillor Paul Eklund says MinnDOT has informed the city it's actually looking at where such safety features can be placed.

The city says the strips may help keep drivers alert and reduce head-on car crashes.

It made the request after two local residents were killed in a head on collision south of International Falls on Highway 53 last month.
