County drops Tokas Drive speed limit to 25 mph after engineering analysis
Summary
Following an engineer report using 85th-percentile analysis, Fremont County approved reducing the speed limit on Tokas Drive (Bridges Street to Mortimer Lane) from 30 mph to 25 mph to address safety concerns on tight corners; one commissioner said a 20 mph limit would be preferable.
An engineer's report recommended lowering the speed limit on Tokas Drive (from Bridges Street to Mortimer Lane) using an 85th-percentile traffic analysis. Commissioners reviewed the engineering rationale and debated whether 25 mph or a lower 20 mph limit would be safer on the tight hill and corners. One commissioner said, "I've lived some tight corners in there... I would rather have seen it gone to 20," but joined the motion to approve 25 mph.
The board moved, seconded and approved the change by voice vote; staff will update signage and the county traffic records to reflect the new 25-mph limit along the specified segment.
