Example Details

Example:

Reduce vehicle speeds and lane widths on Federal Highway to create a more pedestrian friendly environment and vibrant streetscape

Objective:

Accessibility

Strategy Category:

Transportation: Implement a connected network of Complete Streets and facilities for non-motorized modes and transit

Strategy:

Traffic Calming: (II.A.8) Use traffic calming techniques to slow down traffic speeds on appropriate facilities

Originators:

City of Dania Beach

Implementors:

City of Dania Beach, FDOT

Timeframe:

Future: short-term

Applies Systemwide?:

Comments:

A proposed reduction of speed on State facilities must be coordinated through the Traffic Operations Office at FDOT and must go through a travel speed reduction process. If a reduction of travel lane widths is part of a lane elimination then it must go through the FDOT lane elimination process and will be evaluated by Traffic Operations and Design Offices. For all other travel lane width reductions, the proposed reduction must be coordinated with the Traffic Operations and Design Offices separately.

In 2011, the City conducted a traffic calming study for SE 5th Avenue.
