PORT ANGELES – Clallam County Commissioners are set to review speed limits on six roads near Sequim following concerns from residents. This comes after a four-year pause in processing speed change requests, with Towne Road being a focal point of recent public testimony.
Residents near Towne Road initially sought its closure but are now pushing to reduce the speed limit from 35 to 25 mph between Woodcock Road and East Anderson Road. The narrow road’s lack of a shoulder and poor visibility have led to the county to begin a traffic analysis.
Other roads under review include 3 Crabs Road, Lotzgesell Road, Evans Road, Gilbert Road, and Gupster Road. Lotzgesell Road is of particular concern due to its proximity to Dungeness Recreation Area and Five Acre School. Additionally, the intersection of Macleay and Cays Roads with Old Olympic Highway is being considered for safety upgrades due to a history of accidents.
