1861 - 201 1 MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: May 31, 2012
W E L`►�' O N T Y FROM: Janet Carter E.I., Public Works
SUBJECT: Temporary Reduction of Speed Limits on WCR 49
A Request Resolution from the BOCC directing Public Works to install traffic regulatory signs (Speed Limit R2-
1) and warning signs on WCR 49. The signs will be in place from June 11, 2012-August 10, 2012.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) recommends posting the speed limit within 5
mph of the 85 percentile speed limit (Section 2B-13). Other factors such as road characteristics,
roadside development, accident records, and shoulder conditions may be considered when establishing
speed limits. Due to the intersection construction on WCR 49 & WCR 54 Public Works recommends
reducing the speed limit on WCR 49 at WCR 54 from 65 mph to 40 mph.
