The Transportation & Traffic Operations (TTO) Division received a request from a citizen to lower the speed limits on these roads. After evaluating the conditions of the roadways and the requests for lower speed limits, TTO staff supports the reductions based on the roadway geometrics.
The Board is authorized under Sections 316.006 (3)(a)(b), 316.008(1)(j) and 316.189(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes (2009) to establish regulations on county roadways and streets. Volume 1, Chapter 94, Article I, Section 94-1 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances (Ordinance No. 2003-26), authorizes the County Engineer to place restrictions on the movement of traffic 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. |
