Engineer recommends raising speed limit on 3800 E from 35 to 45 mph; resolution required
Summary
County engineer Sam Scott presented speed-study results recommending the speed limit on 3800 E be raised from 35 mph to 45 mph; he told commissioners a resolution would be required to make the change enforceable.
Jefferson County Engineer Sam Scott told commissioners on April 27 that speed-study data for 3800 E supports raising the posted limit from 35 mph to 45 mph. Scott said the data indicate higher operating speeds and recommended the board consider a resolution to change the legal limit and make enforcement possible.
No motion or vote was taken at the meeting; Scott said a formal board resolution would be required for the change to take effect. Commissioners directed staff to prepare the resolution and supporting materials for a future meeting so law enforcement and the public can be informed of proposed changes.
