Can we have different speed limits for different types of vehicles on the same roads?
The Cook County Highway Department provided Traffic Surveillance Data, documenting the average daily travel (ADT) on county roads. The data reflects generally low traffic volume on county roads. The consensus of the committee is that mixed use is generally suitable on county roads, because of the low traffic volume. The committee also noted that different speeds are already allowed on county roads. Cars, delivery vehicles, recreational vehicles, heavy equipment, road maintenance vehicles, bicycles and equestrians all travel at different speeds.
