Responsibility

Larimer County Road and Bridge works in conjunction with the Larimer County Engineering Department to manage, install and maintain traffic control devices, signs and markings on Larimer County maintained roads.

Specifically, the Road & Bridge Department maintains approximately 13,000 signs, all of which are manufactured in-house. Annually the Road & Bridge Sign Team inventories county maintained roads to ensure that there are no damaged, missing or deteriorated signs. Road & Bridge will repair and replace approximately 800 signs per year throughout Larimer County at an average cost of $56 per sign.

For a visual picture of how many signs there are, visit our Road Information Locator Page and select Sign Panels, Panel Description.

If a sign is located on a public, non-maintained road or a private road, contact the responsible Homeowner's Association or Road Association.

If the sign is a street/route marker sign, Larimer County may maintain through the Rural Addressing Program.

There are street illumination lights spread throughout unincorporated Larimer County and most of these lights are owned and maintained by the company that provides electricity to that area of the county.

Larimer County Road & Bridge owns and maintains street illumination lights at roundabouts in unincorporated areas of the county.

Damaged or inoperable street illumination lights may be reported to the Road and Bridge Department or the electric service provider in the area.

 

Pavement marking paint is an important safety feature on paved roads.  These marks delineate driving lanes, turn lanes, and medians and identify crosswalks and bicycle lanes.

Traffic, weather, and snow plowing operations all act to damage and deteriorate the pavement marking paint.   The Road and Bridge Department re-stripes approximately 374 miles of paved mainline roads throughout Larimer County.  Every mainline road is re-striped on an annual basis and 12 miles of the 374 total miles is re-striped twice a year due to high traffic volumes. 

This annual re-striping effort utilizes ~11,000 gallons of yellow centerline paint, ~15,000 gallons of white edge line paint and ~159,000 pounds of reflective glass beads.

Pavement marking maintenance is required to be done when ambient and surface temperatures can be maintained above 50F for a minimum of 24 hours, roads are dry and winds are fairly calm necessitating that this work occur during the summer and fall months.
