Supervisors lower speed limits at former quarry and Barth Road intersection
Summary
Mills County approved two resolutions reducing speed to 35 mph in short stretches near a former rock quarry on 195th Street (Resolution 26-07) and near the 221st Street/Barth Road intersection (Resolution 26-08); both changes cover 750 feet north and south of the specified points.
The board approved Resolution 26-07 to reduce speeds to 35 mph for 750 feet north and south of the entrance to the old rock quarry on 195th Street; the limit resumes at 55 mph beyond the reduced zone. A motion was made and seconded and the resolution was approved.
Supervisors also approved Resolution 26-08, which sets a 35 mph limit for 750 feet north and south of the intersection of 221st Street and Barth Road, a change driven by a recent traffic study and intended to slow truck traffic where vehicles pull out onto county roads. County staff said the signs will be placed while the county seeks reimbursement from the construction company responsible for nearby work.
