Do not click links, open attachments, <br />fulfill requests, or follow guidance unless you recognize the sender and have verified the content is safe. <br />The attached .pdf file is marked to show the area of interest. <br />The question is whether a reduction in the speed limit on the road from 50 to 35 mph is warranted between Vantage <br />Hwy. and the lane to 2451. <br />There seems to be high traffic usage of the road and at considerable speed. Sight lines on the west side of the <br />road (and on the north side of Vantage east of No. 81 Road) are often obscured to all but high clearance vehicles <br />attempting to enter. (Less in this year's drought than last year.) <br />There also seems to be a lot of traffic entering No. 81 rd. from the two drives of the subdivision. <br />I think it would be useful to measure traffic in two locations (approximate) as marked on the attachment. Both speed <br />and vehicle count at both locations would best inform decision making, but if not feasible, then the priority would be for <br />vehicle count at the more southerly point and the speed measurement at the point farther north. <br />Please advise. <br />Al Sharp <br />
