TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: July 9, 2012
W E L"'' 0 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 July 16, 2012-August 3, 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 mill and overlay construction on WCR 49 Public Works recommends reducing
the speed limit on WCR 49 from WCR 44 to WCR 50 from 65 to 45 mph.
