The road design is for 40 mph., and state statutes allow <br />unposted portions of the highway to be either designated 50 mph in rural areas and 30 mph in urban <br />areas. In order to post the 30 mph speed limit, the City will have to petition Mn/DOT for a speed <br />study, and he would recommend petitioning a posted speed limit for the entire segment of Sunwood <br />Drive from County Road 5 to County Road 57. The study will determine the speed most motorists <br />drive on good road conditions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer suggested posting a speed limit of 30 mph until the study is completed. <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that the City would have to have the proper authorization to post the <br />speed limit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson asked how long it will take for the study to be completed. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski responded a month or more. The biggest consideration is dry roads. <br />Mn/DOT will not conduct a speed study if there is snow on any portion of the road. <br /> <br />City Council/November 12, 1996 <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
