body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a resident of V-Eight Ranch Road to post a speed limit on the 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. V-Eight Ranch Road is located in the Haines City area in S-21, T-28S, R-28E, and is classified as a Local Residential road.
Staff conducted traffic studies on V-Eight Ranch Road, as outlined in Section 316.189 of the Florida Statutes, and investigated the five-year crash history. It was subsequently determined that a posting of 20 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 V-Eight Ranch Road. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $212.77.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
