The Montana Department of Transportation allows filming, with
permission, on its state highways, and in some cases, the
Interstate system. State highways include primary, secondary, and urban routes. Before any filming begins on or next to
the highway, the appropriate District Administrator must be
contacted in advance. Intermittent traffic control is permitted.
In most instances, a written traffic control plan will be
required. A licensed and bonded company must be used
for traffic control, for the safety of the film crew as well
as the public. Alternately, in some instances it may be possible
to use Highway Patrolmen for traffic control, depending on
circumstances. Some situations may also require a special events permit. The District Administrator will make
these determinations based on location and related issues.
