Plumas County has announced a public hearing to discuss amendments to the county’s speed zone ordinances. The hearing will take place on August 6, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in the Supervisors Board Room at the Plumas County Courthouse.
The hearing aims to amend the Plumas County Code of Ordinances, Article 7, Chapter 3 of Title 4, which pertains to speed zones. According to Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC), all non-statutory or prima facie speed zones must be updated via an Engineering and Traffic Study report every 5-7 years.
The Plumas County Director of Public Works and Road Commissioner has completed an ETS report to ensure that the posted speed limits of the following speed zones comply with the California Vehicle Code:
County Road 406 – Quincy Junction Road:45 mph
County Road 313 – A13: 45 mph
The recently completed ETS reports for Quincy Junction Road and A13 recommend changes to the posted speed limits.
The proposed changes to the Plumas County Code regarding these speed zones can be found at www.plumascounty.us/DocumentCenter/View/49275/Ordinance—Speed-Zone-Change-070924)
Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the hearing to provide input and stay informed about the proposed changes. This is an opportunity for the community to engage in the decision-making process and ensure that the speed zones reflect current safety and traffic conditions.
