Safety is always important and that’s what the Wyoming Sweetwater County Commissioners had in mind when they passed a Resolution last week. On April 15th, the Commissioners adopted the Resolution that sets a 45-mph speed limit on all unpaved, unmarked county roads, unless otherwise posted. This is in response to a new state law that empowers counties to formally establish lower speed limits on unpaved roads within their jurisdiction, without conducting a speed study. The goal is to simplify local road safety management and reduce liability on roads never engineered for high-speed travel. Questions can be directed to Sweetwater County Public Works at 307-872-3921.
