County sets 45 MPH school speed zone near Highland High School under Resolution 26‑29
Summary
Following an engineering review that found an 85th percentile speed of 60 MPH on Vine Avenue (W64), the Board established a 45 MPH school speed limit during bus arrival/departure times and ordered signage at two specified locations.
The Washington County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 26‑29 to create a school speed zone on Vine Avenue (W64) in the vicinity of Highland High School. County Engineer Jacob Thorius presented the engineering review, conducted with the Washington County Sheriff's Office, which indicated the 85th percentile speed was 60 MPH in both directions; the Board set the school speed limit at 45 MPH during times buses arrive and depart and authorized signage placement 400 feet north of 170th Street and 400 feet south of the south paved entrance to Highland High School.
The resolution cites authority under Iowa Code sections and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and records the Board's finding that a school speed limit is appropriate for the location. The minutes show the Board approved the resolution on a motion by Stan Stoops, seconded by Bob Yoder, by roll call vote.
