speed regulations are based on the same Basic Speed Law that is used in all 50 states: "No <br />30 <br />person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under <br />31 <br />the conditions”. <br />32 <br />Statutory limits are based on the concept that uniform categories of highways can operate safely <br />33 <br />at certain preset maximum speeds under ideal conditions. Whether the speed limit is posted or <br />34 <br />not posted, drivers are required to reduce speed below these values for poor weather conditions, <br />35 <br />curves or hills and potential hazards such as pedestrians. Drivers must also reduce speed when <br />36 <br />approaching or passing emergency vehicles with emergency lights flashing. <br />37 <br />A council resolution requesting the study is required. The MnDOT Commissioner of <br />38 <br />Transportation is the only authority that may set and revise speed limits. <br />39 <br />FI <br />INANCIALMPACTS <br />40 <br />The study is conducted by MnDOT, with no charge to the City of Roseville. <br />41 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />42 <br />. <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution <br />43 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />44 <br />Adoption of a Resolution Requesting MnDOT to Conduct a Speed Study on Cleveland Avenue <br />45 <br />. <br />between County Road B2 and Fairview Avenue <br />46 <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />
