RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

14-15.012:  Manual on Speed Zoning for Highways, Roads, and Streets in Florida

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To update material incorporated by reference.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule incorporates the most recent version of the Speed Zoning for Highways, Roads and Streets in Florida Manual and forms used in conjunction with the manual. The manual is being updated for clarity and to incorporate provisions for school zones and school crossings.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The standards have been developed for use by governmental entities responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of roadways. Any costs associated with the revised standards will be contractual requirements, not a regulatory cost to small businesses.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
