Koppel r'lo County Engineer UIl F E 8 1 1 2002 DATE: February 7, 2002 RE: Golf Carts Duck Key Roads On 2-7-02 I performed a traffic study to determine whether golf carts may be operated safely on the County roads on Duck Key. The following recommendations are offered. 1. Approval of golf carts on the County roads of Duck Key from sunrise to sunset 2. Placement of a sign indicating that golf carts are permitted. Installation on the island side of the Tom's Harbor Channel Bridge (1st bridge). 3. Placement of a sign at each of the following bridges (both sides) warning of golf carts: Duck Key Bridge (1 st humpback bridge), Bimini Dr., Harbor Dr., Seaview Dr, 4. Placement of an auxiliary sign" lOMPH" to be attached to the signs indicated in 3 above. This is due to the limited sight distance on the bridges. 5. Remove conflicting signs. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet with me to discuss same. Thanks. DSK/jl GolfCartsDuckKeyRds.DOC Cc: Sheriff Roth James L. Roberts Dent Pierce
