MADISON, JR. ACTINg COMMISSIONER August 18, 2005 Ms. Elizabeth Neville Southold Town Clerk Town Hall, 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold, N.Y. 11971 Speed Limit Reduction Request Route 25 Mattituck Our Case No. 049435TC Dear Ms. Neville: We have completed our investigation regarding your request to reduce the speed limit on Route 25 in the vicinity of the Mattituck/Laurel Library in Mattituck. Our investigation included an accident analysis, pedestrian counts, a review of the roadside development, speed zone evaluation and field observations of the area. Our accident analysis reviewed the most current three years of data available from the Det~arLment of Motoc Vehicles. Om m~alysis did not show a pattern of accidents th,, correctable by reducing the speed limit at this location. Pedestrian counts were taken on typical weekdays, between the hours of 7AM and 6PM. Our counts showed very low pedestrian activity at this location. Regulatory speed limits are established only when and where they will promote efficient traffic flow and/or improve safety. Consequently, speed limits are established only after an engineering and traffic investigation has been made in accordance with established traff~c engineering practices. This type of analysis includes the following: · Roadside development (i.e., the number and type of residential, commercial, industrial and recreational establishments). · Intersection development (i.e., the number and type of intersecting highways). · Highway geometries (i.e., pavement condition, grades, curves, sight distance, shoulders, sidewalks and traffic volume). 85th percentile speed (The speed at which 85% of the motorists are traveling at or below) Studies conducted throughout the country have shown that drivers are influenced more by the appearance of the highway itself and prevailing traffic conditions rather than by the posted speed limit. If speed limit signs are posted for a lower limit than is needed, many drivers will simply ignore the signs. At the same time, other drivers will stay within the posted speed limit. This increases the conflicts between faster and slower drivers, reduces the gaps in traffic and increases the difficulty for pedestrians to judge the speed of approaching vehicles. The results of our study showed the 85th percentile speed on Route 25 near the library to be 41 mph with a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Based on our 85th percentile speed study and evaluation of the roadside development, we do not feel a reduction of the speed limit at the subject location is appropriate at this time. Thank you for your interest in traffic safety matters. Very truly yours, FRANK PEARSON, P.E.
