Committee approves sending ATV-route changes to finance, including trial 45 mph speed limit
Committee reviewed updates to the county highway ordinance to require MUTCD-compliant reflective signage on ATV routes and to establish a trial 45 mph speed limit on county highway-system ATV routes effective May 16, 2026; the committee approved forwarding the ordinance to executive finance for further consideration.
The full story
Staff presented proposed changes to Chapter 60 of the county’s highway ordinance to expand the update beyond the ATV section and to require signage that meets the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) in reflectivity and size. The package also includes a resolution that, effective May 16, 2026, sets a trial 45 mph speed limit on all ATV routes using the county highway system; the trial would be evaluated after one year and could be made permanent if no concerns arise.
