NOTES:
1. The CRITICAL SPEED,or 85th percentile speed,is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is
moving.From experience,traffic.engineers have found that this is one of the most reliable factors in determining appropriate
speed limits. Hence,the accepted practice,and one which has been used in this case,is to set the speed limit at the nearest 5
MPH increment to the critical speed. When this procedure is used,it not only conforms to that required by the State but is
also provides a strong base for law enforcement personnel to properly enforce speed limits.
