STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA <br /> DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION <br /> <br /> Albemarle, N, C. <br />JAMESB. HUNT, JR. January 2, 1980 <br />GOVERNOR DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS <br />THOMAS W, BRADSHAW. JR <br />SECRETARY <br /> <br /> Mr. Charles McGinnis, County Manager <br /> Cabarrus County <br /> P. O. Box 707 <br /> Concord, North Carolina 28025 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. McGinnis: <br /> <br /> Your request of December 14, 1979 to District Engineer <br /> T. L. Patterson that a uniform 45 mph speed.limit be <br /> established on Pitts School Road (SR 1305) west of US <br /> 29 has been referred to this office for consideration. <br /> <br /> Our field investigation of this request revealed that <br /> development on those sections of this road now posted <br /> for 55 mph is insufficient for a reduced speed limit, <br /> especially that section west of SR 1431. Considerable <br /> development exists from US 29 westward to the beginning <br /> of the existing 45 mph zone. However, this development <br /> is considered to be less than the minimum 60% normally <br /> required to warrant a speed reduction to 45 mph. <br /> <br /> Should significant additional development occur on this <br /> road your request will be reconsidered. <br /> <br /> Please advise if you desire additional information concern- <br /> ing this matter, or if we may be of ' / in others <br /> ass[stance . <br /> <br /> Very tru'ly yours,-~ <br /> <br /> DAVID B. ROBERTS <br /> DIVISION ENGINEER <br /> <br /> SBS:ek ~ ..... <br /> cc: Mr. T. L. Patterson <br /> Mr. S. B. Smith ~ ~k_~dvo~_~,~~'~' ~d~ ~ ~/t~ <br /> <br /> <br />
