Reports included one serious injury, 7 minor injuries and 14 possible injuries. The majority of these were on County or State roadways with the exception of three incidents. Falcon Heights Traffic Speed Study Over the last ten years engineering staff has conducted numerous traffic count and speed studies on local roads. Data was typically collected for a minimum of 48 hours during the week but sometimes included 72 hour counts which included the weekend. The majority of the data points shown in the maps below are from 2017-2020. Data from State and County roads was not included in this report. Some observations about the data. • On the majority of roads, the vast majority of drivers are following the speed limit. • On local roads, the 50th percentile speed is about 20 mph for most roads. • For collector roads, such as Hoyt and Roselawn, measured speeds are higher. • Roselawn Avenue measure speeds significantly higher than other local roadways. o This is likely due to the volume of traffic (3,100), which is 2.5 times higher than the next local roadway, and the major east west connection that allows vehicles to cross Snelling Avenue at a signal light. Roselawn Avenue from Eustis Street to Victoria Street is under jurisdiction of Lauderdale, Falcon Heights and Roseville. Falcon Heights Speed Limit Evaluation
