REP 16-047
Brady Road and Evergreen Highway Speed Limits Details: In 2015, portions of Brady Road and the old Evergreen Highway were annexed into Camas. These portions of roadway previously fell under Clark County jurisdiction. Both roadways have posted speeds of 40 miles per hour. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 46.61.400 states that the basic rule for the maximum speed on city streets is 25 miles per hour. Per RCW 46.61.415, local speed limits may be altered based on engineering and traffic investigation. Engineering staff investigated speeds and recent collisions along these segments of the corridor. Staff finds that, based on a limited number of collisions and current travel speeds, the 40 mile per hour posted speeds are appropriate for both Brady Road and the old Evergreen Highway. Staff recommended that Council formally adopt the current posted speeds by resolution. Presenter: James Carothers, Engineering Manager
