Summary

Laramie County is considering a resolution to change the speed limit on a specific segment of County Road 130, Christensen Road, from mile post 0.0 to 2.25. A speed study conducted in June 2024 by Inberg-Miller Engineers analyzed this paved section and concluded that the speed limit should be raised from the current posted 40 and 50 mph to 55 mph. This change is consistent with Wyoming Statute 31-5-303(e) and is recommended due to traffic count data, roadway characteristics, and a review of historical crash data. The resolution authorizes the Public Works Department to post the new speed limit.

Citizen Impact

Residents using Christensen Road between mile posts 0.0 and 2.25 will experience a speed limit increase from 40/50 mph to 55 mph. This change is based on an engineering study and aims to align the speed limit with current traffic conditions.
