Subject: Traffic Study On Or Before
A traffic study has been completed on County Road No. 49 from State
Highway No. 263 to County Road No. 622.
This is a very dangerous area due to the very heavy truck traffic at
•
Farr Feed Lots.
Many complaints have been received from this area regarding this
condition.
Corrective action taken has been to speed zone County Road No. 49 from
State Highway No. 263 north to County Road No. 62- . This is a total
distance of approximately one mile. Present speed limits are 35 m.p.h.
from Highway 263 to a point approximately 2 mile north of Farr Feed
Lot' s driveway. Then the speed limit is 45 m.p.h. for an additional
500 feet. The purpose of the 45 m.p.h. is to allow proper distance
for south bound traffic to slow down before entering the 35 m.p.h.
speed zone.
The attached diagram shows the present configuration of signs in this
area.
Your cooperation in adopting a resolution to this effect will be
appreciated.
