COLORADO SUBJECT: Signing on WCR 3, S. of SH 60
A service call was received from Roger Kenney concerning trucks parking along the shoulder of
WCR 3,just south of SH 60. (See attached service call and photo) Mr. Kenney owns the property at
the southwest corner of SH 60 and WCR 3. He believes this is a safety issue for travelers on WCR
3. WCR 3 is a gravel roadway approximately 30' in width.
I made a site visit on 7/22/05 to verify the parking practices. I arrived at 7:30 am and passed three
semi-tanker trucks parking in the south bound lane just south of the intersection with SH 60. Four
additional trucks were waiting to fill up at a water tap on the east side of the road within the parking
area. (See map) Mr. Kenney and I watched for about a ''/z hour and no less than two trucks were
parked along the shoulder at any given time. This potentially could be a very hazardous practice
since the parked trucks are blocking a portion of WCR 3. The water facility is operated by Magpie
and the trucks are owned by A&W Water Service. Twin View Estates, LLC is the owner of the
property. I contacted Ryan Warner with Magpie and he stated that A&W Water delivers water for
their oil field services. He stated that the trucks come in from the south, pull into the facility, fill up,
and then leave on SH 60 and normally, no more than two trucks are at the facility at one time. This
was not the case on the day of my visit. The owners of the facility should expand their parking area
to allow for additional trucks to park and wait to fill without parking on the roadway.
Mr. Kenney explained that the dust caused by the trucks is a problem and he had dust suppressant
applied in front of this property. Due to the trucks leaking water, the roadway became saturated
and basically left the roadway in such a muddy mess, the county's grader had to grade the road
removing the dust suppressant. Mr. Warner has offered to reapply the dust suppressant and I left
him with several company contacts that do this work. He stated he would schedule the work at there
earliest convenience and notify the truck driver to not overfill the trucks.
Several problems exist at this location, the dust and the roadside parking. I believe the dust issue
will be resolved and until the parking area is enlarged, I am recommending that we install six R7-1
signs, "No Parking Any Time",three on each side of the road in accordance with the MUTCD. Four
of the signs would have single arrows pointing towards each other and two would have double
arrows. The signs would be located just south of SH 60,just north of the canal and two in between
to create a no parking zone between the signs. Once the parking area is enlarged the issue may go
away and the signs could be removed. Mr. Warner stated that he would look into enlarging the
parking area for the trucks.
