In answer to the request of the Saline County Board of Commissioners, the
State Highway Commission at its meeting of February 25, 19590 adopted a resol-
ution establishing a 40 MPH speed limit on short lengths of two county roads,
Cloud and Republic Streets, north of the Schilling Air Force Base. A certified
copy of the resolution establishing the county route speed zones is attached
for the county's records. Posting of these speed limits is to conform to the
requirements in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Kansas, using
uniform 18° s 24p SPEED IMUT 40 signs.
We regret to inform you that to date this department has been unable to
obtain preliminary approval for the establishment of a 40 MPH speed limit on
the new Base access road as dAsired by the County Commission and the Base
officials. The question arises as to the advisability of the low numerical
speed limit in relation to.the limited access controlled features of this new
road. It would be advisable that you discuss this traffic regulation problem
with Mr. W. D. Wollam, Division Engineer at Salina, who is informed concerning
this proposed speed limit, in order that a final determination can be made
regarding this proposed speed zoning.
Whenever this department can be of further assistance on matters of traffic
and safety in Saline County, please notify use

Acting County Engineer
Saline County Highway Department
Salina, Kansas
Dear Mr. Hull:
In answer to the recent request of the Board of County Commissioners of
Saline County, the State Highway Commission adopted a resolution at its
meeting on December 30, 1957 establishing speed limits of 50 MPH for 1.95
miles on East Crawford Road and a 45 MPH speed limit for 0.50.mile on FAS
Route 1058, both of these county route sections being immediately adjacent
to the city limits of Salina, Kansas. Attached is a certified copy of the
resolution establishing these speed limits which is for your records. Also
included is a copy of the speed study report.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Kansas requires that these
limits be properly posted with uniform speed limit signs as provided In the
Manual before these speed limits can be enforced by the local enforcement agency.
We would recommend that uniform R-2 18" x 24" speed limit signsshowing the
established speed limit be erected at approximate spacings ofJ mile for each
direction of travel on these routes within the zone lengths. Appropriate
advance warning signs, as provided in the Manual, should be used in advance of
the speed zone sections on the approach to the speed zones from the rural areas.
Thank you for the cooperation that you have given to
particular traffic study and we do certainly regret the
because we were unable to complete the speed studies at
inclement weather.
Very truly yours,
