RE: REGULATION OF SPEED ON TINY HILL ROAD, ALSO KNOWN AS
FULTON STREET, FROM COLORADO STATE HIGHWAY 52 SOUTH
TO CROSSROAD A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE,
IN WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
WHEREAS, a multitude of complaints have been made to the Board
of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that motor vehi-
cles habitually are being driven at speeds greater than is reasonable
and prudent along parts of highways being in Weld County and known as
Tiny Hill Road, also known as Fulton Street, from Colorado Highway 52
south to crossroad a distance of approximately one mile, and all inter-
sections of streets and roads therewith, and
WHEREAS, said Board is authorized by the statutes of the State of
Colorado to regulate the speed of vehicles, and
WHEREAS, said Board pursuant to such complaints, has determined
upon the basis of engineering, traffic investigations and a special speed
survey, that any speed in excess of 40 miles per hour, along or over said
portion or portions of said roads or highways, and at all intersections of
other roads therewith is excessive and is greater than is reasonable, safe
or prudent under the conditions which exist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Com-
missioners of Weld County, Colorado, that no motor vehicle shall be dri-
ven on, over or along any portion or portions of said roads or highways,
or at or across, or at the entrance to, any intersection of any other
street, road or highway therewith, at a speed in excess of 40 miles per
hour, and that any speed in excess of 40 miles per hour, and the driving
of any vehicles at any speed in excess of said limit of 40 miles per hour
thereon or thereat shall be prima facie evidence that said speed is not
reasonable, safe or prudent and that it is unlawful.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and
seconded, adopted by the following vote:

WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
WELD COUNTY SERVICES BUILDING
Oct. 18, 1968
Mr. Harold Anderson, Chairman
Weld County commissioners
Greeley, Colorado
Dear Sir:
Re: Speed Zone Study
Enclosed are the work sheets on three recent speed zone
studies:
1. 1st Ave. - Between 22nd & 214th Streets near east
city limits of Greeley
85 percentile speed - 36.7 MPH
We recommend installing speed limit signs of 40
MPH both directions.
2,
Tiny Hill Road - Fulton Street from State
Highway 52 southerpy for one mile
85 percentile speed - 34.7 MPH
We recommend speed limit signs of 35 MPH or 40
MPH, preferably the latter as there is a mini-
mum of side or cross traffic in this area
3. 16th Street - 23rd Ave. to 35th Ave.
85 percentile speed - 36.7 MPH
Since this is partly in City of Greeley (North
side) we recommend speed limit signs of 35 MPH
in lieu of existing 30 MPH signs. This would
be consistent with 35 MPH signs on 35th Ave.
from 10th to 16th Streets.
Your truly,
D. S. Moore, Inspector
