W E L 0 N T Y FROM: Janet Carter E.I., Public Works
SUBJECT: Temporary Reduction of Speed Limits on County Roads
A Request Resolution from the BOCC directing Public Works to install traffic regulatory signs (Speed Limit R2-
1) and warning signs on various county roadways, please see attached signage plan. This is to address the
temporary solution of water trucks loading water at fire hydrants on county roadways. The signs will be in
place from July 11, 2011-January 30, 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. Based on the use of the shoulders for water loading Public Works recommends reducing
the speed limit in the following locations to 35 mph.
