RE: CR 48,Middle Road(North Road),Southold
Dear Superb KrWpski:
Our Department recently completed a traffic study along the entire length of CR 48,Middle Road in
Southold. As part of our investigation,we reviewed Volume data,performed spot speed studies,reviewed
crash history data,and utilized expert systems to analyze recommended speed limits along CR 48.
As per New York Codes Rules and Regulations,existing speed limits along CR 48 are as follows:
+ 50 mph between a point 500+/-feet east of Tuckers Lane and Moores Lane,a distance of 4.7+/-
miles
40 mph from June I'to September 15'of each year between a point 300+/-feet west of Clark
Road and a point 500+/-feet east of the Southold Town Beach,a distance of 0.7 miles
• 45 mph between Moores Lane and Main Street—Route 25,SH 8380,intersection,a distance of 0.6
+/-miles
As per the conclusions of our study,we recommend that speed limits along CR 48 be revised to:
• 45 mph between a point 900+/-feet west of Cox Neck Road and Marys Road,a distance of 1.2+/-
miles
• 45 mph between Old North Road and Leon Road(+/-450'west of Clark Road),a distance of 2.1
+/-miles
40 mph between Leon Road and Chapel Lane,a distance of 2.0+/-miles
45 mph between Chapel Lane and Main Street—Route 25,SH 8380,intersection,a distance of 1.6
+/-miles
Therefore,we request that the Town adopt a resolution to revise speed limits along CR 48 as stated above.
Following adoption of such a resolution a TE-9 form should be completed and forwarded to the County,
who will execute and submit the request to New York State.

Dear Albert,
RE:change of speed limit request.
We hereby request the Town of Southold submit a request to the appropriate New York State (NYS)department to
change the speed limit from 45 mph to 25 mph on NYS Route 25 between Silvermere road and the beginning of the
Greenport School speed limit(91 st.)(25mph).
It is generally agreed that the average driver will drive at 8-1 Omph over the posted speed limit. Therefore,many vehicles
are traversing the subject area at 53 to 55 mph. These speeds are exacerbating the near misses that are occurring when the
vehicle in front stops in an attempt to make a left hand turn into any of the business'along this stretch which causes the
"behind"cars to swerve around the stopped vehicle.
This stretch of road accommodates: 1.A delicatessen
2. A dance studio
3.A bank
4.A pharmacy
5.A multiple doctor medical office
6.A Canvas products Mfr.
7.A 7-11 Convenience store
8.A gas station
9.A lumber yard
10.A bus company
Many of these have 25+employees and numerous customers arriving and departing each day. This increase in volume in
recent years,coupled with the excessive automobile speeds increases the likelihood that a life-threatening accident is going to
occur.A lower speed limit will help to reduce this probability and increase the likelihood of speed limit compliance in front
of the Greenport school.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration.
