Converse County adopts Resolution 01-26 to revise speed limits on county roads

The Board of Commissioners of Converse County adopted Resolution 01-26 on Feb. 17, 2026, revising maximum posted speed limits for multiple county roads and making the resolution effective immediately. Commissioner Donald Blackburn moved to adopt the resolution and Commissioner Rick Grant seconded; the motion carried.

The resolution, which cites Wyoming Statutes §31-5-102, §31-5-108, §31-5-109, §31-5-110 and §31-5-303 as authority for the board to set speed limits, lists specific speed zones and exceptions across numerous county roads. Notable entries include several segments of Irvine Road designated at 35, 45 and 55 mph depending on mile markers; Natural Bridge Park speed limits set at 10 mph within park sections and 40 mph elsewhere; and differentiated speeds for paved versus gravel sections of Ross Road and Walker Creek Road. The resolution also rescinds Resolution 13-19.

The resolution establishes enforcement penalties: fines calculated by miles per hour over the posted limit with a stated minimum fine of $25, and an increased $300 fine for vehicles or combinations exceeding 26,000 pounds that exceed posted limits by six or more miles per hour. The county’s Road and Bridge Department was directed to post speed limit signs meeting any applicable State of Wyoming specifications.

The action was recorded as passed and the document was signed by Commission Chairman James H. Willox and attested by County Clerk Karen Rimmer. The resolution text as presented to the board contains a full list of road-by-road speed limits and the sections to which they apply; the resolution states it becomes effective immediately upon adoption.
