Greeley, Colorado Deputy
Gentlemen:
A speed study was conducted July 16, 1972 on County Road 90. This is the
road on the north edge of Pierce running east and west crossing U.S. 85
at this point. The point of study was located approximately .25 mile west
of U.S. 85 in the school zone. Following are the results:
A total of 47 vehicles were checked traveling east with the 85
percentile speed being 52 m.p. h.
A total of 28 vehicles were checked traveling west with the 85
percentile being 39 m. p.h.
As a result of this study I recommend the following speed limits:
westbound from U.S. 85 to approximately .3 mile west - 35 m.p.h.
at this point 45 m. p.h. to a point approximately .4 mile west of
U.S. 85
at this point 60 m.p.h.
eastbound approximately .4 mile west of U. S. 85 speed reduced to
45 m. p.h. to a point approximately .3 mile west of U.S. 85
at this point speed reduced to 35 m.p.h. to intersection of U.S. 85
Also a total of II vehicles were observed entering traffic on County Road 90
from side streets of Pierce or county roads. Of this total only one vehicle
came to a stop before entering traffic. Corrective action to this problem
is to properly sign this area making County Road 90 a through road, requiring
all side entering traffic to stop before entering.
Letter to Commissioners -2- July 20, 1972
All warning, regulatory, school and speed signs have been installed in full
compliance with the manual on uniform traffic control devices.
Your cooperation in adopting the above into a resultion will be gratefully
appreciated.
Sincerely,
ohn W. Campbell
