PRESCOTT VALLEY SPEED LIMITS TOO HIGH?

WHAT SPEED IS RIGHT FOR PRESCOTT VALLEY’S STREETS AND ROADWAYS? THE TOWN COUNCIL HAS DECIDED TO TAKE STEPS TO FIND OUT.

THE TOWN HAS CONTRACTED WITH LEE ENGINEERING, A PROFESSIONAL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING FIRM, TO PERFORM SPEED STUDIES ON HIGHLY-TRAVELED STREETS AND ROADS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN INCLUDING GLASSFORD HILL ROAD, ROBERT ROAD, VIEW POINT DRIVE AND SEVERAL OTHERS. 

THE FIRM WILL ANALYZE MANY DATA POINTS IN IT’S STUDY, SUCH AS DRIVER SPEEDS, NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS, ROAD CONDITIONS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.

THIS WILL ASSIST IN DETERMINING WHAT SPEEDS MAY BE CORRECT FOR THE 35 MILES OF STREETS AND ROADS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY.  

TOWN OFFICIALS EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE RESULTS THIS SUMMER.
