Re: Speed Zoning Study along Country Club Road between FM 544 and Parker Road
Mr. Holsted:
Lee Engineering has conducted an analysis of vehicular speeds along Country Club Road within
the City of Wylie. This letter report presents the results of our study.
Country Club Road is designated as a major arterial based on the City of Wylie thoroughfare
map dated July 2004. The posted speed limit on Country Club Road is 40 miles per hour. The
total study area is approximately 2.5 miles in length.
SPEED DATA
A spot speed study was performed along Country Club Road within the existing posted 40 mph
speed zone. Lee Engineering operated four (4) spot speed check stations for each travel
direction. The date, time, and location of spot speed check stations presented in Table 1.

Spot speeds for Country Club Road were measured using a handheld LIDAR speed
measurement device and speed data were recorded at each location until two hours of data
collection was performed or the sample size exceeded 125 vehicles. Only free- flowing
vehicle speeds were measured, and all measurements were performed during daylight and
good weather. Table 2 presents the spot speed results for each check station. Data sheets for
each study site are attached to this letter
TxDOT Procedures for Establishing Speed Zones indicate that the speed limit for a section of
roadway is typically set based upon the 85'h percentile spot speed rounded to the nearest 5
mph increment. For instance, a speed limit established based on Site 3's 85'h percentile speed
would likely be 45 mph. Other factors such as geometric constraints, driveway density,
development density and crash history can be used to establish a speed zone at a speed lower
than the rounded 85'h percentile value.

CRASH ANALYSIS
Crash data were provided by the Wylie Police Department for crashes that occurred during
the previous eighteen (18) months. During that time, the subject roadway was under
construction and expanded from a two lane undivided roadway to a six lane divided roadway.
Construction was completed and the roadway fully opened in August 2011. Therefore, crash
data were used for this analysis from August 2011 — December 2011. According to the police
reports, five (5) crashes occurred along Country Club Road within the study area. None of the
crashes listed speed as a possible contributing factor in the crashes. The crash rate shown in
Table 3 was calculated based on the daily volume of 15,090 vehicles collected on March 22,
2011
Table 3: Crash Data Summary
The 2010 statewide average crash rate for divided roadways with four (4) or more lanes was
43.02 for rural roads and 112.96 for urban roads. Because Country Club Road is located
within an incorporated city it is considered an urban roadway. The study segment has a crash
rate below the statewide average crash rate for urban divided roadways with four (4) or more
lanes.

The 2010 statewide average crash rate for divided roadways with four (4) or more lanes was
43.02 for rural roads and 112.96 for urban roads. Because Country Club Road is located
within an incorporated city it is considered an urban roadway. The study segment has a crash
rate below the statewide average crash rate for urban divided roadways with four (4) or more
lanes.
CONCLUSION
The spot speed data collected indicates that the 85`h percentile speed is between 45 and 50
mph for this study area roadway with six of the eight sites being closer to the 45 mph
increment. Based on these data, it is recommended that the posted speed limit along Country
Club Road between FM 544 and Parker Road be set at 45 mph.
