• The number of reported crashes in the previous five years for the studied roads are <br />as follows: <br />Road Name <br />Reported Crashes <br />Westside Rd <br />5 <br />Mohar Rd <br />0 <br />Nelson Siding Rd <br />4 <br />,Buffrog Rd <br />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 onf 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 />
