FI <br /> <br />Speed Zon~g <br />County Road 33 <br />~lerbun~ County <br /> <br />We have completed an ensineering and traffic investigation to determine a reasonable a~l safe spe~.d <br />limit for County Road 33, This study was conducted as requested by Shed~m-ne County in a tesolulion, <br />dated February I ~, 1997. If you agree wt~ our recommendation, pkase forwa, r~ a speed limit <br />authorization to Sl~rbume CoUnt. <br /> <br />Based on investigation t~sults, we recommend thc following speed limit for County Read 33. <br /> <br />Statutory between CSAH 13 and County road 77. <br /> <br />County Road 33 to thc cast of USTH 169 is situated in a rural environment wi~ scattered reaidentia! <br />houses on both sides. This e~tern section has numerous vertical and horizontal curves which cause <br />awid= var/ation iI~ sl~eeds. Dee to Iow volumes, test runs were conducted and they ranged from <br />~0 topi in ~ curves to 55 mpll m the straight sections. A consistent speed was difficult to maintain, <br />On~ speed check was taken af~ Clle stroll sample also indicated a wide variation in speeds. <br /> <br />The area from USTH 169 west ~to C.R. T7 is surrour~d~ by a large sand pit and concrct~ company litat <br />have trucks accessing C,R. 33 ion a regular basis. A long vertical grade influences the spe~d for this <br />section of C.R. 33. Due to t~stimns and speed ch~cks we believe a statutory speed limit is appropriate. <br /> <br />The above speed iimk is rccommended contingent upon curves aad hazards being signed with the <br />approprlat~ warning signs, including appropriat~ speed advisory plate~, The roadway should b~ <br />t~ir, ved for traffic control devices impacted by the reeom~nd~ spezd limit before posti~l the sl~ris. <br />All signs ~hall bc in conformaace wi~ the MMUTCD. The above speed limit is based on roadway <br />conditions on the date of thc r~;ommendation. <br /> <br />We have disr. uaaed our flndin&siwit~ Shelly Peder~on, Assistant Sberbume County Engineer, ar~ she <br /> <br />concurs with our recommendations. <br /> <br />Gary Dirlarn,Baxter MN/DOT <br />Shelly Pederson-Assistant Sherbumc County EngLneer <br /> <br /> <br />
