Item K1BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: September 17, 2014 Division: Public Works/Engineering Bulk Item: Yes _ No x Department: Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Trish Smith 304-0412 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of the supplemental study of the Big Pine Academy School Zone/Crossing Analysis. ITEM BACKGROUND: In 2013, Monroe County retained URS Southern Corporation (URS), the county's traffic consultant, to evaluate the potential to add a new US 1 pedestrian crossing on Big Pine Key. URS recommended adding a crossing with a pedestrian refuge area (raised median) midway between the Big Pine Academy and Key Deer Boulevard to service students at the school and the nearby transit facilities. The BOCC discussed the item in March 2014, and after hearing public comment, requested a supplemental study with additional public input. The BOCC expressed concern that a raised median could impede access to adjacent businesses and suggested that an alternate location nearer to the school should be considered, based on public comments that they had received. The county and FDOT held a public workshop on Big Pine Key in May 2014. Workshop participants asked to move the proposed crossing closer to the school. The Chamber of Commerce asked for a treatment that could also benefit weekend flea market traffic. FDOT provided guidance on the supplemental scope and asked Monroe County to conduct the study through its local transportation planning agreement, JPA AQN-53. The supplemental study was initiated when school reconvened in mid -August 2014. Some of the unique issues that required consideration were high traffic volumes, origin/destination data for the student population, the rural setting of the school, insufficient "vehicle gaps" for pedestrians, the absence of a pedestrian refuge area in the median, flashing Key Deer beacons, and development restrictions that cap the school enrollment at 200 students. Monroe County and FDOT met to discuss the completed study on August 25, 2014, and participants agreed upon acceptable school zone treatments that will meet FDOT Design Standards. Out of eleven (11) potential options, four will meet the site -specific criteria for US 1 on Big Pine Key. The county's traffic consultant selected Option 8 (attached) as the preferred treatment for the Big Pine Academy. Option 8 includes pavement markings to indicate the presence of a school, pedestrian signage, installation of a crosswalk near the school, and installation of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB). The PHB is different than the yellow -only, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) in Key Largo. The PHB treatment at the Big Pine Academy will remain dark until it is activated by the pedestrian. Then it will sequence through a flashing yellow light, a solid yellow light, a solid red light, and then a flashing red light as the pedestrian clears the crosswalk. Unlike the RRFB, the PHB does not require the installation of a raised median. Option 8 will also provide the additional benefit of serving pedestrians and bicyclists who cross US 1 to frequent the Big Pine Flea Market. _-FDOT -in oje budded to-the-wunty's- existing Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement and managed by Monroe County. Upon approval by the BOCC, FDOT District 6 will forward the supplemental study to FDOT Traffic Operations in Tallahassee for approval. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: 3/14 - BOCC directed staff to ask FDOT to perform a supplemental pedestrian study on Big Pine Key. 6/13 - Approval of a Task Order in the amount of $15,983.76 for URS Corporation Southern to conduct a school zone analysis on US 1 adjacent to the Big Pine Academy. 12/12 - Commissioner Neugent asked the FDOT to evaluate the feasibility of a school zone on US 1 near Big Pine Academy on Big Pine Key.

The HAWK Signal was renamed the "Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon" in the 2009 MUTCD. A pedestrian hybrid beacon includes the following • Overhead beacons with three sections (circular yellow signal indication centered below two horizontally aligned circular red signals) facing both directions on the major street. • Overhead signs labeled "CROSSWALK STOP ON RED" to indicate that the location is associated with a pedestrian crosswalk. • A marked crosswalk on the major street. • Countdown pedestrian signal heads to control pedestrian crossings at the crosswalk, • Pedestrian detectors, such as pushbuttons. The pedestrian hybrid beacon rests dark when not in use. When a pedestrian pushbutton or detector is actuated, the beacon begins with a flashing yellow light, followed by a solid yellow light, altering drivers to slow. A solid red light requires drivers to stop while pedestrians have the right-of-way to cross the street. When the pedestrian signals display a dashing DONT WALK indication, the overhead beacon flashes red, and drivers may proceed if the crosswalk is clear. The MUTCD provides guidance on the pedestrian volume warrants, design features, and restrictions associated with the pedestrian hybrid beacon. The pedestrian volume thresholds required by the MUTCD for a pedestrian hybrid beacon are significantly lower than for a traffic signal, and this treatment may be installed at locations where traffic signals are not otherwise warranted. Pedestrian hybrid beacons are best suited for uncontrolled crossings of multi -lane, higher speed or volume roadways where there is a need to provide occasional pedestrian crossings without inordinate delay to motor vehicles (i.e. school crossings, intermittent neighborhood street crossings of high volume, multi -lane arterials)_ A 2010 FHWA study indicates that a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon reduces total crashes by 29 percent and pedestrian crashes by 69 percent.

The field observation was supplemented with traffic and pedestrian data during morning and afternoon peak conditions. Attachment A presents the subject location map. An aerial image of the study area is provided in Attachment B. This field observation is a supplemental study to the School Crossing Study conducted and dated 10/28/2013. The supplemental school zone analysis was requested by FDOT and the Monroe County Commission following community input and a meeting between Commissioner Neugent and FDOT staff. The intersection of US I (Overseas Highway) with Deer Run Trail is a four -legged intersection with stop sign control on the minor approaches. US 1 constitutes the major approaches to the intersection; it physically runs east/west within the study area. However, for the purposes of this report, US 1 will be referred to as a north/south roadway based on its regional configuration. Deer Run Trail and the Big Pine Nursery Driveway constitute the minor approaches, and will be referred to as east/west roadways based on their configuration in fefe­renmtnrUS -1. AfthoughI er am streetfights atumjthe vice -cm side &US 1, 1here are none at the intersection. US 1 (Overseas Highway) is a four -lane, north/south, divided arterial connecting Big Pine Key with other keys north and south, and the mainland to the north. The posted speed limit on US I near the intersection is 45 miles per hour (mph) — during day time and 35 mph — at night. This segment of US 1 provides two northbound lanes, one southbound lane and a two-way left -turn center lane. At the intersection, the southbound approach of US 1 provides a two-way left -turn center lane and one shared through/right-turn lane; the northbound approach provides the same two-way left -turn center lane, one through lane and one shared through/right- turn lane. Deer Run Trail is a two-way local road, which starts at US 1 and ends approximately 1,400 feet towards the ocean side, just past Paradise Lane. It provides local access mainly to the Big Pine Academy and the Flea Market. Neither posted speed nor street lighting are provided along Deer Run Trail.

Currently, the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail ends approximately 350 feet and 1,100 feet to the north and south of Deer Run Trail, respectively. However, these missing sections near Big Pine Academy will be built under Project FM 250571-1 in the FDOT work program, which has the pre -construction meeting scheduled in a few weeks. A shared pedestrian/bicycle path is also provided along the gulf side of US 1. The Big Pine Academy is located abutting the ocean side of US 1 (Overseas Highway) south of Deer Run Trail. The nearest traffic signals along US 1 are located approximately 1,050 feet to the north at the Chapman Street/Deer Key Boulevard intersection, and approximately 11 miles to the south at the Crane Boulevard intersection. There are no traffic signals along Deer Run Trail. Recent field observations were performed on Thursday, August 21, 2014. Two-hour vehicular and pedestrian volumes were also collected. Field observations were made at the subject intersection during the AM (7:30 — 8:30) and PM (2:15 — 3:15) school peak periods. School opening and dismissal times are 8:00 AM and 2:45 PM, respectively. Field data was supplemented with the information collected under the previous analysis. Traffic volume, speed and gap data was collected on each approach of US 1, from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Directional volume count data is provided in Attachment C and summarized in Exhibit 1. Speed data is provided in Attachment D and summarized in Exhibit 2. Pedestrian group size and vehicular gap data is provided in Attachment E and summarized in Exhibit 3. Photographs of the study area are provided in Attachment F.

During the field observations, pedestrian activity was only observed within a % hour period during school opening and closing times. b. This year, there were more pedestrians (including schoolchildren) crossing US 1 on the south/west side of Deer Run Trail than on the north/east side. The number of pedestrians crossing on the south/west side of Deer Run Trail was observed to be approximately 3 times the number of pedestrians crossing on the north/east side of Deer Run Trail. c. The major pedestrian origin/destination was observed to be the Big Pine Academy. A couple pedestrians were observed to access the bus stops between Deer Run Trail and Key Deer Boulevard/Chapman Lane. d. A couple of schoolchildren/school related pedestrian traffic were observed in the area in addition to those crossing at Deer Run Trail and appeared to cross at Key Deer Boulevard. e. A couple of times, pedestrians were observed to cross US 1 in two stages using the area of two-way left -turn lane for refuge creating conflicts with turning vehicles. Drivers were observed to improperly continue their path in front or behind pedestrians. Pedestrians were observed to improperly initiate their crossing without having an adequate vehicular gap in both directions. f. School buses were observed along US 1 and Deer Run Trail. g. Vehicular traffic appeared to flow with relative ease through this area without any significant delays, conflicts or queues. Maximum vehicular queues of 3 and 5-vehicles were observed to enter and exit Deer Run Trail, respectively. The installation criteria and considerations for the implementation of a school zone are described in FDOT Policy number 750-010-027-h, Establishing School Zones and School Crossings. A copy is included in Attachment H for ease of reference. The policy defines school zone as the portion of a street or highway located within a school area (streets and highways adjacent to a school) that is subject to a reduced speed limit at certain times of the day. A school crossing is defined as an official school student crossing on an adopted school route plan of a school safety program. FDOT policy states that only public or private elementary, middle schools (Jr. High), or federally funded Headstart facilities providing a full-time educational program are eligible for the markings, signs, and other traffic control devices. Big Pine Academy is a Public Charter School serving Pre -School through Seventh Grade; therefore, it meets FDOT eligibility criteria. FDOT policy states that a school zone speed limit may not be less than 15 miles per hour except by local regulation. No school zone speed limit shall be more than 20 miles per hour in an urbanized area, as define in Section 334.03, F.S. Such speed limit may be in force only during those times 30 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after the periods of time when pupils are arriving at regularly scheduled breakfast program or a regularly scheduled school session and leaving a regularly scheduled school session." School zone speeds are selected on the basis of an engineering analysis to the specific site that includes a vehicle spot speed study and a pedestrian group size study. Also a vehicle gap size study should be done to document the length of time needed for adequate gaps in traffic and the number of adequate gaps occurring when children are present at the crossing under review. Based on the stated criteria and gathered information (including but not limited to: vehicle 85th percentile speeds of 43 mph, low number of adequate gaps to cross US 1 in one stage comfortably and the observation of conflicts) a 15 rnph school zone near Big Pine Academy between 7,30 — 81,30 am and 2,15 -- 3,15 pm could be implemented. Ms. Patricia Smith August 29, 2014 Big Pine Academy — School Zone Study, Page S of 10 The design, application, and installation of traffic control devices in school areas, zones, and crossings shall comply with the Department's Design Standards, Index 17344, which is included in Attachment I for ease of reference. The typical application of signs, markings, and signals contained therein must comply with the Chapter 7, Traffic Control for School Areas of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Section 4C.06 Warrant 5, School Crossing and Chapter 4F, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons from the MUTCD also apply. Current version of the MUTCD can be accessed at hftp:llmutcd,fhwa.dot.gov/index.htm. FDOT policy also states that school speed zones should be kept as short as practical and should not necessarily extend along the entire highway frontage of the school property. Department's Design Standards, Index 17344 provides 11 different school zone design implementation cases with variation in traffic control devices, crosswalks, speed reductions, signings and markings. The 11 case applications are listed below and summarized in Exhibit 4. 1. Traffic control devices for a school crosswalk at a signalized intersection; 2. Traffic control devices for a school crosswalk at a stop controlled intersection; 3. Traffic control devices for reduced speed zone at a school crosswalk 2 lanes-2 way traffic (40 mph or less) (midblock or on thru street at an intersection); 4. Traffic control devices for reduced speed zone at a school crosswalk 2 lanes-2 way traffic (45 mph or greater) (midblock or on thru street at an intersection); 5. Traffic control devices for a school crosswalk without a speed reduction (2 lane- 2 way traffic; 6. Traffic control devices for a reduced speed zone at a school crosswalk with overhead flashing beacon speed limit signs (4 lanes undivided-2 way traffic) (midblock or on thru street at an intersection); 7. Traffic control devices for a reduced speed zone at a school crosswalk with overhead or ground mounted flashing beacon speed limit signs (4 lanes divided-2 way traffic); 8. Traffic control devices for signalized midblock school crosswalk; 9. Traffic control devices at school entrances with low volumes of walking students; 10. Traffic control devices for a typical school zone fronting the school property; and -tfi. embus-S". Case 1 includes a signalized intersection. FDOT policy states that all traffic signal installations must meet one or more of the MUTCD's nine (9) signal warrants. It also states that a shoal zone should not be established simply because a signalized intersection exists near a school. Furthermore, FDOT Design Standards, Index 17344 notes that special speed restrictions are not normally applicable with cases 1 and 2. Based on the characteristics of the intersection none of the applicable signal warrants thresholds are anticipated to be met for the existing conditions. MUTCD Section 4C.06 Warrant 5, School Crossing requires a minimum of 20 schoolchildren during the highest crossing hour. Less than 20 schoolchildren were observed during the highest crossing hour; therefore, the implementation of Case 1 is not applicable. MUTCD Section 4C.06 Warrant 5, School Crossing (Page 442) states: The need for a traffic control signal shall (emphasis added) be considered when an engineering study of the frequency and adequacy of gaps in the vehicular traffic stream as related to the number and size of groups of schoolchildren at an established school crossing across the major street shows that the number of adequate gaps in the traffic stream during the period when the schoolchildren are using the crossing is less than the number of minutes in the same period (see Section 7A.03) and there are a minimum of 20 schoolchildren during the highest crossing hour (emphasis added). less."m sa S, P^t ®teat JIM -1 IEEE ls 12 fa T is If Egg an, Us nav— EXHIBIT 4: FDOT 2015 Design Standards Index No. 17344 ScInoo!

Case treatments 3, 4, and 5 are intended for implementation along 2 lane-2 way roadways. The cross section of US 1 within the study area exceeds 2 lanes; therefore, the implementation of Cases 3, 4, and 5 are not applicable for the Big Pine Academy site. Case treatments 6, 7, and 8 may be applicable for the Big Pine Academy site, These three treatments provide a marked crosswalk. The Florida Statutes define a crosswalk as (a) That part of a roadway at an intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway, measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traversable roadway. (b) Any portion of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface. Therefore, the US 1 with Deer Run Trail currently provides unmarked crosswalks as defined by item (a). Florida Statute 316.130 (7)(c) also states that When traffic control signals are not in place or in operation and there is no signage indicating otherwise, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided shall yield the right-of- way to all vehicles upon the roadway. Florida Statute 316.130 (10) states that every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway. Therefore, drivers should be yielding to pedestrians even though the intersection of US 1 with Deer Run Trail currently provides unmarked crosswalks. Section 3.8, Midblock Pedestrian Crosswalks of the FDOT Traffic Engineering Manual states that -map d—pedeStFian crosswalks at midblock--locations (d d—ds- any location proposed for a marked crosswalk on a roadway with an uncontrolled approach) may be an appropriate tool to safely accommodate pedestrians at locations where there is a documented pedestrian demand and the distance to the nearest intersection crossing location would result in significant out -of direction travel for pedestrians. The guidelines in the FDOT Traffic Engineering Manual for implementing midblock crosswalks also state that for volumes greater than 12,000 ADT, a refuge island or raised median should be considered unless controlled by a pedestrian signal or pedestrian hybrid beacon. The study area has an ADT of approximately 15,300; therefore, the implementation of a median should be considered unless controlled pedestrian hybrid beacon since pedestrian volumes do not meet MUTCD warrants for a school signal. FDOT policy states that in rural areas, where approach speeds are higher, flashing beacons should be used to increase the conspicuity of school zones. The not for Case/Condition 7 on sheet 3 of 6 of the FDOT Design Standards, Index 17344 indicates that the use of overhead structures is preferred for multi -lane roadways. The index note states: Where engineering judgement determines the overhead is not suitable or cannot be installed due to site restrictions, S5-1 with flashing beacons on each side of the roadway may be substituted for the overhead structure. Therefore, flashing beacons on overhead structures should be considered for the Big Pine Academy site if a school zone is implemented, Ms. Patricia Smith August 29, 2014 Big Pine Academy - School Zone Study, Page 8 of 10 Case 6 may be applicable for the Big Pine Academy site. This configuration does not provide the recommended median for pedestrian refuge and two stage crossing or pedestrian hybrid beacon control to provide adequate vehicular gaps for pedestrians to cross both directions in one stage. The vehicular gap study indicates that there is a deficiency in the number of adequate gaps for pedestrians to cross US I in one stage without conflicting with vehicles. While this configuration provides active speed reduction control (which may increase drivers to pedestrians yielding levels), it does not provide active right-of-way control, which may also increase or introduce new conflicts. Multiple -threat conflicts are of particular concern. FHWA studies have found that the greatest difference in pedestrian crash types that occurred at marked and unmarked crosswalks involved multiple -threat crashes. A multiple -threat crash involves a driver stopping in one lane of a multilane road to permit pedestrians to cross, and an oncoming vehicle (in the same direction) strikes the pedestrian who is crossing in front of the stopped vehicle. This crash type involves both the pedestrian and driver failing to see each other in time to avoid the collision. FHWA Safety Effects of Marked Versus Unmarked Crosswalks at Uncontrolled Locations shows a total of 17.6 percent (33 out of 188) of the pedestrian crashes in marked crosswalks were classified as multiple threat. None of the 41 pedestrian crashes in unmarked crosswalks was a multiple - threat crash. This configuration would impact traffic operations along US 1 for one hour during between 7:30 — 8:30 am and 215 — 3,15 pm during school days regardless of the presence of schoolchildren crossing US 1. The implementation of this configuration would require two overhead structures doubling the implementation cost in comparison to Case 8. Case 7 may be applicable for the Big Pine Academy site, This configuration would provide the recommended median for pedestrian refuge and two stage crossing. The vehicular gap study indicates that there are a sufficient number of adequate gaps for pedestrians to cross US 1 in two stages (i.e., one direction at the time) without conflicting with vehicles. While this configuration provides active speed reduction control (Which maincrease drivers to ......................................................... pedestrians yielding levels), it does not provide active right-of-way control, which may also increase or introduce new conflicts. However, multiple -threat conflicts would be limited to the northbound approach. There is not a raised median currently provided within the study area. To minimize traffic operations and property access impacts, the crosswalk and corresponding median would need to be located west and away from the intersection. This configuration would have permanent access impacts and impact traffic operations along US 1 for one hour during between 7,30 — 8-30 am and 2,15 — 3.15 pm during school days regardless of the presence of schoolchildren crossing US 1. The implementation of this configuration would require two overhead structures and median improvements (potentially including the implementation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons), which could triple implementation cost in comparison to Case 8. Case 8 may be applicable for the Big Pine Academy site. This configuration would provide the recommended traffic signal control in the form of pedestrian hybrid beacon. The schoolchildren volumes during the highest crossing hour are not met for the implementation of full traffic signal control as previously described. While Chapter 4F, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons from the MUTCD recommends a minimum volume of 20 pedestrians per hour (i.e., it is not mandatory since "shall" phrasing is not used) similar to FDOT requirements for minimum levels Us. Patricia Smith August 29, 2014 Big Pine Academy - School Zone Study, Pape 9 of 10 of pedestrian demands at midblock crosswalks, Section 3.8, Midblock Pedestrian Crosswalks of the FDOT Traffic Engineering Manual states that the only exception to this criterion is within a school zone, where there is no minimum pedestrian volume for a school crossing. Therefore, the implementation of a pedestrian hybrid beacon control could be considered for the Big Pine Academy site. This configuration provides active right-of-way control mitigating vehicular gap deficiencies and eliminating multiple -threat conflicts. In addition, this configuration would not have property access impacts and traffic operation impacts along US I Would be limited to the few instances when schoolchildren or other pedestrians cross US 1 at this location. The implementation of this configuration would require a single overhead structure, which may reduce implementation costs to approximately one-half and one-third in comparison to Cases 6 and 7, respectively. The MUTCD guidance recommends that when an engineering study finds that installation of a pedestrian hybrid beacon is justified, then: A. The pedestrian hybrid beacon should be installed at least 100 feet from side streets or driveways that are controlled by STOP or YIELD signs. The MUTCD has a similar recommendation for the installation of a signalized school crossing under Warrant 5. Reduced distances have been used effectively at other locations to better serve the intended users (e.g., Signalized School Crossing across US 1 at Marathon, Florida between 120 Street and 122 Street.) A comparable approach should be considered for the Big Pine Academy site. Case 9 may be applicable for the Big Pine Academy site, The design standard notes that this treatment is intended for use only at hose few locations where the school entrance is not evident to the motorist, and must be approved in advance by the responsible traffic engineering authority. The Big Pine Academy and its entrance are not evident to motorists along US 1 due to the significant vegetation along the school property abutting US 1. This treatment requires minimal infrastructure and could be readily implemented. However, it should be noted that this case features warning signs instead of regulatory signs. Since warning speeds are not mandatory and specific applicable times are not provided, it will be up to the characteristics of each driver to react properly to these signs. Therefore, while this treatment may help increase yield levels, it may also increase or introduce new conflicts due to an inconsistent response from driver to the warning signs. The main cost for implementing this configuration would be associated with sign installation, which makes it negligible, compared to Cases 6, 7, and 8. Since this treatment can be readily implemented, it could be considered for temporary implementation, During this period, it may also be assessed for consideration as a permanent treatment. Case treatment 10 is intended for implementation for locations where the school zone is fronting the school property. While the school has property abutting US 1 (potential school zone area), the layout of the school property fronts Deer Run Trail. Therefore, the implementation of Case 10 is not considered applicable for the Big Pine Academy site. Case treatment 11 is intended for implementation in conjunction with a school bus stop. The study area does not include a school bus stop; therefore, the implementation of Case 11 is not applicable for the Big Pine Academy site.

Sections 316.75, 316.1895, 318.21, 1006.21, 1006.23, 1013.36, 334.03 and 335.10, Florida Statutes (F.S.) Rule 14-15.010, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). AIN U Offices affected by this procedure are State Traffic Engineering and Operations, District Traffic 0 erations, Roadway Desi gn, Maintenance, and State and District Safe".J., offices. Florida School Crossing Guard Guidelines: Available from the Florida Department of Transportation, Safety Office, 605 Suwannee Street, M.S. 82, Tallahassee, FL, 32399- 0450. I I I I I � � � I # 7! !' School Area. Those streets and highways abutting the grounds of an active educational institution that includes school property. Only streets and highways that are adjacent to a school are included in the school area. School Zone. That portion of a street or highway located within a school area that is subject to a reduced speed limit at certain times of the day. A school zone is defined by traffic control devices and normally adjacent to the school property. It may be established at other locations when justified by an engineering study. School zones are TWAAMM-W. iwit-ilanket manner for all streets and hi,,vbAws within a school area. School Crossing. An official school student crossing on an adopted school route plan of a school safety program. Any crossing not so officially designated is termed a "pedestrian crossing." School zones are intended to protect the safety of students. However, analysis has shown that at many locations, the traffic controls requested are unnecessary, costly, and tend to lessen respect for controls that are warranted. Regardless of the school location, safe and effective traffic control can best be obtained through uniform application of policies, practices, and standards developed through engineering studies- 1. ELIGIBLE SCHOOL ZONE LOCATIONS 1.1 Only public or private elementary, middle schools (Jr. High), or federally funded Headstart facilities providing a full-time educational program are eligible for the markings, signs, and other traffic control devices referenced in Section 4.1. 1 1.2 Except as noted in Section 1.1, other educational institutions and facilities are not eligible for the traffic control devices referenced in Section 4.1. These include universities, vocational technical schools, junior colleges, community colleges, nursery schools, high schools, and day cares. These institutions may be considered for other types of traffic control devices such as pedestrian crossing signs or warning signs for a playground or driveway entrance. Traffic control devices are not normally needed at a high school, but when special circumstances occur, they should be addressed on a case -by -case basis, only used when needed, and justified by an engineering study. 2.1 As stated in Section 316.1895(5), F.S.A school zone speed limit may not be less than 15 miles per hour except by local regulation. No school zone speed limit shall be more than 20 miles per hour in an urbanized area, as defined in Section 334.03, F.S. Such speed limit may be in force only during those times 30 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after the periods of time when pupils are arriving at a regularly scheduled breakfast program or a regularly scheduled school session and leaving a regularly scheduled school session." 01!.2 School zone speeds are selected on the basis of an engineering analysis of the - specific site. The analysis should include a vehicle spot speed study and a pedestrian group size study. Also, a vehicle gap size study should be done to document the length of time needed for adequate gaps in traffic and the number of adequate gaps occurring when children are present at the crossing under review. 2.3 When school speed zones are warranted, a speed regulation should be established in accordance with the Traffic Regulation Approval Process, Topic Number 750-010-011. 2.4 Upon a request from the local government, a reduced speed zone will be used school crossings at signalized intersections at locations adjacent to or near school property if justified by an engineering study. i 3. SCHOOL AREA, ZONE, AND CROSSING STUDY RESPONSIBILITIES 6.1 Florida law places the basic responsibility for school site planning and an annual review of school sites for proper traffic control and safety devices with each local school board in cooperation with the appropriate municipal, county, regional, or state agencies. Before the start of the school year local agencies should arrange for an annual 0- 61 0 0 6- 3.2 Upon the request of a school district representative or school principal, the District Traffic Operations Engineer or his/her designee shall assist the scho board and local officials in the determination of adequate traffic controls for school sites, areas, zones., or crossings involving routes on the State Highwi System. Such assistance should include, where appropriate, a site -specific engineering study. Such a study should be contingent upon inclusion of the site on an approved school route. 3.3 When engineering studies or investigation of hazardous walking conditions indicate needed improvements on the State Highway System, the District Traffic Operations Engineer shall implement or request from the appropriate authority, the needed improvements in a timely manner. 3.4 As stated in Section 316.1895(2), F.S., local government shall request signing for the federally funded Headstart facilities. 4.1 The design, application, and installation of traffic control devices in school areas, zones, and crossings shall comply with the Department's Design Standards, Index 17344. The typical application of signs, markings, and signals contained therein must comply with the Chapter 7 of MUTCD. In rural areas, where approach speeds are higher, flashing beacons should be used to increase the conspicuity of school zones. 4.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 316.1895(7), F.S., portable signs designating school zones, school zone speed limits, or school crossings are specifically prohibited in accordance with the MUTCD. in lieu of portable signs, school officials may use approved traffic cones ui 28- inch school zone vertical panels within the roadway, during approved school hours, when the need to emphasize a school zone or school crossing exists. These devices shall be placed in both directions on the centerline at the advance school zone crossing sign when accentuation is needed. On multilane divided roadways, these devices may be placed on each lane line of the school zone or school crossing. The legend "SCHOOL" may be printed on the cone in four inch black vertical lettering. I Traffic cones used for the above purpose must be used in accordance with Section 6F.59 of the MUTCD. 57111P 17011t necessarily extend along the entire highway frontage of the school property. They should only be used where students are crossing or are in close proximity L LO the roadway. 4.4 School zones and signalized intersections are independent control techniques, and the use of one neither requires nor precludes the use of the other. Whenever possible, if a school crossing is warranted, it should be located at a signalized intersection. However, all traffic control signal installations must meet one or more of the MUTCD's signal warrants. A school zone should not be established simply because a signalized intersection exists near a school. When a school crossing is located at a signalized intersection, the traffic engineer should determine if traffic movement restrictions are needed. Permissive left turns may be restricted during school zone operating hours a right -turn -on -red may have to be disallowed at some intersections. Field observations of all such crossings are recommended. 4.5 School zones shall be maintained by the respective government entity having responsibility per Section 316.1895, F.S. Maintenance and replacement of traffit control devices shall be done in a timely manner. 5.
