Davis, Public Works Dir `/i <br />SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Jurisdiction and <br />Maintenance Policy <br />FROM: Michael L. Orr; �' \ REFERENCES: <br />Traffic Engi neer <br />r �- N- • it •• itMVLO& <br />The Public Works Division staff has submitted a proposal for a Countywide jurisdiction <br />and maintenance policy for traffic signals to the Transportation Planning Committee for <br />discussion and recommendation.. The Cmnnittee unanimously approved the concept of a <br />unified jurisdiction and maintenance policy for traffic signals during the January ll, <br />1983 meeting <br />At the present time, no formal policy exists concerning governmental responsibility for <br />the installation of new traffic signals at intersections of roads with different m- <br />tenance responsibilities, such as the intersection of County and municipal roads. in <br />addition, maintenance of existing traffic signals does not follow a logical assignment <br />of responsibility, i.e. municipalities maintaining traffic signals on County roads, and <br />visa versa. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />No consistent policy prevails between governmental jurisdictions within the State of <br />Florida. Agreements are left to local discretion. <br />A. Installation and maintenance of traffic signals shall be the responsibility of the <br />Political subdivision whose roadway has the higher functional classification as <br />shaven on the I.R.C. Thoroughfare Plan. Where equal classifications exist, installa- <br />tion/maintenance shall be determined by the roadway with the higher traffic volume, <br />determined on an annual basis and subject to assignment at the start of the fiscal <br />year - <br />16 <br />FUE ` 7 <br />
