• The number of reported crashes in the previous five years for the studied roads are <br /> as follows: <br /> Road Name Reported Crashes <br /> Westside Rd 5 <br /> Mohar Rd 0 <br /> Nelson Siding Rd 4 <br /> Bullfrog Rd 1 <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Public Works installed traffic tubes to collect data on Westside Road,Nelson Siding <br /> Road, Mohar Road, and Bullfrog Road(Exhibit 1)to collect traffic data between August <br /> 15, 2024,to August 23, 2024. Speed and volume data for this time period are shown as <br /> Exhibits 2 and 3 comparing measured data to typical data. Typical data is taken from <br /> Public Works regularly collected traffic counts for all county roads representing non- <br /> holiday weekday metrics. The comparison dates for Mohar,Nelson Siding, and Bullfrog <br /> weekday counts come from June of 2022. The comparison date for Westside Rd comes <br /> from weekday counts in September of 2022. <br /> Data was not collected on Upper Peoh Point Road to be consistent with data collected on <br /> a Holiday Weekend in early July. Equipment installed on Bullfrog Road was disturbed on <br /> Monday, August 19, limiting the data collection dates from August 15 to August 19. Data <br /> was collected in a different road segment than what was collected on the Holiday <br /> Weekend. Previously, data was collected at MP 0.37 in a road segment but was collected <br /> at MP 2.30 for this study. <br /> There have been several [10] accidents reported on the study roads over the last five <br /> years. Zero were reported over a holiday weekend. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> Data collected over the non-holiday weekend is less than the data that was collected on <br /> the July 4th holiday weekend. Data collected on Bullfrog Road shows that the non- <br /> holiday traffic is higher than the holiday week, but the data collected on Bullfrog Road <br /> previously was skewed due to equipment error or tampering (Data was not collected on <br /> Sunday over the holiday weekend). Both speed and volume data collected show traffic <br /> metrics above non-holiday weekday averages for these sections of road. <br /> The data collected on West Side Road represents traffic metrics which would likely be <br /> slightly lower if observed in the road segment which was previously studied. Traffic <br /> closer to town, as studied previously, does not include vehicles diverting around Mohar <br /> Road. <br /> Public Works has installed speed feedback radar signs on Westside Road,Nelson Siding <br /> Road, Upper Peoh Point Road, and Bullfrog Road as was recommended in the Fehr and <br />
