AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A Public Hearing to consider adoption of an Ordinance revising
Section 25 -2 of the Monroe County Code to revise the speed limit on portions of Card Sound Road.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Card Sound Toll Booth has been removed to allow for the
installation of the Monroe County Card Sound All Electronic Tolling System (Tolling System) and
upon installation of the Tolling System, vehicular traffic will no longer be required to stop to make
payment at the toll booth and therefore vehicles will no longer be naturally slowed as they approach
this area. In order to ensure that a safe speed limit is maintained in the approach to the Tolling
System and in accordance with traffic safety standards, the speed limit should be reduced from 40
MPH to 35 MPH East Bound (EB) from the Dade County Line to the West End of the Card Sound
Bridge and West Bound (WB) from the West end of the Card Sound Bridge to the Dade County
Line. The speed zones as set forth in Section 25 -2(b) of the Monroe County Code will be amended
to reflect the reduction in the speed limit in this area. The Board of County Commissioners has
authority pursuant to F.S. 316.189 to establish speed zones.

amendment Section 25 -2 of the Monroe County Code: Ord. No. 27 -1987; Ord. No. 43 -1988; Ord.
