  • Review Requirements and Costs for Road Designations
    The Florida Senate Interim Report 2012-139 September 2011 Committee on Transportation REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND COSTS FOR ROAD DESIGNATIONS Issue Description The designation of roads, bridges, or other transportation facilities for honorary or memorial purposes is a long- standing practice in Florida and, since 1922, over 1,000 of these designations have been legislatively approved. Passage of an honorary or memorial designation of a transportation facility generally involves erecting signs along the state‟s right-of-way reflecting the designation as described in an act of the Legislature; e.g., “John Jones Memorial Highway.” Currently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or department) bears the costs of erecting and maintaining these signs without a specific appropriation. This report provides an overview of the statutory requirements and procedures related to establishing honorary or memorial designations on transportation facilities in Florida. In addition, the report reviews the costs of these designations, including sign production, installation labor, maintenance, and other related costs. Background All roads which are open and available for use by the public and dedicated to the public use, according to law or by prescription, are declared and established as public roads.1 The Florida Statutes categorize public roads into four systems: The State Highway System; the State Park Road System; the county road system; and the city street system.2 Public roads are subject to numbering, naming and designation as follows. Numbering and Naming of Roads Each route on the State Highway System is given an unique number for identification and signed with distinctive numbered Interstate, U.S. or Florida state route shields to guide public travel.
