body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a citizen to consider a speed limit posting on Scott Road. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered that a Resolution establishing a speed limit could not be located and may not exist. Scott Road is located in the Lake Wales area in S-24, T-30S, R-27E, and is classified as a Local Residential road.
Staff conducted traffic studies on Scott Road as outlined in FS 316.189, and investigated the five-year crash history. Based on the research, it was determined that a posting of 25 M.P.H. is reasonable for this road. To comply with statutory requirements, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a Resolution establishing the proposed speed limit.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board adopt the associated Resolution to establish the proposed speed zone for Scott Road. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $277.76.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 24/25 Transportation Millage Fund.
