2009 Speed Limit Study
According
to the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the
purpose of speed zones are to establish a limit
at which vehicles should travel that is reasonable
and safe for a given section of roadway.
On
June 1, 2009, the Town of Rolesville Board of Commissioners
established a "Speed Limit Study Committee"
to examine the speed limits Town wide. The formation
of such a commitee was important to the Town Board
because of the public concerns about existing speed
limits which have been expressed.
The
purpose of this Speed Limit Study was to have a
non-political, unbiased, and professional group
of individuals review the speed zones throughout
the incorporated areas of Rolesville. As part of
this study, the group collected and reviewed relative
data of vehicular traffic, public opinion, and returned
with a report. The Town Board of Commissioners asked
that a report include a recommendation on what steps,
if any, should be taken relative to the speed limits
within the incorporated (or annexed) areas of Rolesville.
The
report was presented to the Town of Rolesville Board
of Commissioners on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at
their regularly scheduled meeting. At this meeting,
the Committee gave a presentation of the report.
After this presentation, the Town Board decided
to seek public input on the Committee's recommendations.
