An evaluation of road geometry indicated both horizontal curves meet design criteria for <br /> a 50 MPH road. The design speed of the curves are 50 mph and 52 mph. Road width, <br /> grade, and shoulders all support an increase in posted speed. <br /> Existing Speed data from Public Works' standard traffic counts in 2022 and 2024 show <br /> an 85 h percentile speed of 46.10 MPH and 50.30 MPH respectively. <br /> There are residential and commercial developments along Bullfrog Road,however the <br /> access points are not within the road segment in question. The road segment in question <br /> has very few access points, and no single-family driveway accesses. <br /> Public Works notes I reported crash in the last 5 years. Additionally, Ordinance No. 93- <br /> 14 indicates the speed limit was initially lowered in this section of the road due to the <br /> poor condition of the bridge deck. The bridge deck condition has been repaired and the <br /> initial concern prompting the speed change is no longer a concern. <br /> The Sheriff's Office provided comments on the request indicating that there's a <br /> noticeable number of people maintaining speeds of 50+ MPH and that the 35 MPH <br /> section is regularly ignored. The Sheriff's office is in moderate support of the adjustment. <br /> The speed study was initiated by County Staff inquiry and therefore has no community <br /> support or opposition submitted at this time. A Public Notice of hearing will be posted, <br /> notifying the public more directly if a Public Hearing is set. <br /> The speed study resulted in an 85 h percentile speed of 50.30 MPH at mile post 0.23. This <br /> is well above the posted speed limit and warrants consideration of an increase in the <br /> posted speed. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Exhibit 1: Initial Screening Criteria <br /> Exhibit 2: Speed Study Results. <br />
