Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

By Resolution Number (No.) 18-034 (February 27, 2018) the Board accepted Traffic Study No. 17-01 recommending the establishment of a 25 miles per hour (MPH) prima facie speed limit on Ruddick Cunningham Road, County Road (CR) 205, from milepost (MP) 0.00 to 0.50.                     

 

Summary of Request

Area residents, concerned about speeding on Ruddick Cunningham Road, CR 205, from MP 0.00 to MP 0.50, submitted a petition to the Road Commissioner for a speed study.  The Road Commissioner found the application meritorious and authorized a traffic study.  The recommendation of Traffic Study No. 17-01 is to establish a 25 MPH prima facie speed limit on Ruddick Cunningham Road, CR 205, from MP 0.00 to MP 0.50. Therefore, based on the recommendation of Traffic Study No. 17-01, Mendocino County Department of Transportation is recommending an amendment to Mendocino County Code for Ruddick Cunningham Road, CR 205, from MP 0.00 to MP 0.50, establishing a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH.
