Stefani Road is located in Commission District 5. |
| BACKGROUND: |
County staff received complaints regarding the speed limit on Stefani Road from West Ten Mile Road to West Roberts Road. As a result, studies were performed, and staff concluded that reducing the established speed limit of 40 miles per hour (mph) to 35 mph on Stefani Road from West Ten Mile Road to West Roberts Road was reasonable. This corridor is consistently residential in nature with large lots and driveway spacing consistent with the section south of West Ten Mile Road. Reducing the speed limit on Stefani Road from West Ten Mile Road to West Roberts Road from 40 mph to 35 mph will create a consistent speed limit and expectation on Stefani Road within this residential community.
The Board is authorized under Sections 316.006(3)(a)(b), 316.008(1)(j), and 316.555 of the Florida Statutes (2009) to establish regulations on County roadways and streets. Volume 1, Chapter 94, Articles I and II of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances (Ordinance No. 2003-26), authorizes the County Engineer to place restrictions on the movement of traffic, vehicles, and parking on County roadways and streets. This authorization requires the County Engineer to file quarterly, for Board ratification by Resolution, a list of all limitation orders established under this section. |
