RE: REGULATING, WARNING AND GUIDING TRAFFIC ON COUNTY
ROADS AND AT COUNTY ROAD INTERSECTIONS IN WELD
COUNTY, COLORADO.
WHEREAS, a multitude of complaints have been made to the
Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that drivers
of motor vehicles habitually drive on County Roads and through County
road intersections without regard for the general safety of drivers of
other motor vehicles, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to 1963 Colorado Revised Statutes, 13-5-69(1),
as amended, local authorities, with reference to streets or highways under
their jurisdiction, are authorized to designate through streets or highways
and erect stop signs at specified entrances thereto, and
WHEREAS, said Board, pursuant to such complaints, has deter-
mined upon the basis of traffic and personal investigations that conditions
exist which make it necessary to regulate, warn and guide vehicular traffic
on County roads by posting signs thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County
Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado, that the Board deems it neces-
sary to regulate, warn and guide traffic on County roads and any inter-
sections thereof, and it hereby authorizes and orders the posting of such
traffic control devices as shall be reasonably necessary to regulate, warn
and/or guide traffic thereon for the safety of the general public and that
said traffic control devices shall conform to the State Manual and speci-
fications.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commis-
sioners, Weld County, Colorado, does declare and establish the following
not to be through streets or highways for the named portions of County
roads which shall become effective when standard stop signs are erected
at the entrances to:
1. County Road No. 47 where it intersects with County Road
No. 62, all as shown on plats submitted by the County Traffic Engineer
and made a part hereof by reference.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made
and seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 10th day of

Subject: Traffic Study at Co. Rd. _ On Or Before
No. 62 and 47
A traffic study has been completed on County Road No. 62 at County Road
No. 47.
This is a very dangerous intersection due to the increase in traffic on
County Road No. 62. Also, construction is presently under way upgrading
County Road No. 62 to a class "A" road (hard top) .
Traffic flow on County Road No. 62 is presently five to one over County
Road No. 47. Also, County Road No. 62 has a very heavy truck traffic.
Corrective action has been taken to correct this problem. Previously
County Road No. 47 was a through road with stop signs on County Road No. 62.
This has been reversed. Now County Road No. 62 is the through traffic
and County Road No. 47 has stop signs at this intersection.
The attached diagram indicates the corrective action taken.
Your cooperation in adopting a resolution to this effect will be
appreciated.
