A complete traffic study has been completed on County Road No. 396 northeast
for a distance of 24 miles. This has been requested by residents of this
area and others traveling this road.
This section of road is extremely dangerous due to many sharp curves,
narrow road, and very heavy truck traffic causing a heavy cloud of dust.
Corrective action taken is County Road No. 396 starting at the intersection
of County Road No. 292. This has been zoned to 30 m.p.h. for a distance
of 24 miles northeast. The attached diagram indicates the action taken.
All known existing rules and regulations have been complied with.
Your cooperation in adapting a resolution to this effect will be appreciated.
