Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 14-51.063 - TODS Location and Placement
(1) TODS may be
installed on the state highway system only after permitted by the Department.
(a) TODS shall not be permitted by the
Department if they interfere with the effectiveness of other traffic control
devices.
(b) TODS shall only be
permitted at the nearest intersection providing the most direct practical route
to the eligible facility. An additional sign may be approved at the closest
state road intersection with a roadway on the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)
when the nearest state road intersection is not on an SIS facility.
(c) Each destination is limited to one sign
panel in each direction of travel on the state highway system.
(d) The maximum distance from the business to
where a TODS may be placed on the state highway system shall be 25
miles.
(e) If a facility with state
road frontage is more than 10 miles from the nearest state highway system
intersection suitable for TODS installation, the jurisdiction with TODS
authority may apply for a permit to sign for this facility with a "ONE MILE"
advanced TODS sign. This is the only instance an advanced sign may be permitted
on the state highway system.
(2) TODS shall be limited to placement on
rural conventional roads, as stated in the MUTCD. TODS shall not be placed
within the right of way of limited access facilities. TODS shall not be located
in the right of way of a limited access facility interchange regardless of
jurisdiction or local road classification.
(3) The location of other official traffic
control devices shall take precedence over the location of TODS. TODS shall
have standard spacing with other traffic control devices shown in Table
1.
(4) The Department will remove
without notice, and with no obligation to relocate the sign or compensate for
its removal, any TODS on the state highway system for highway safety or
operational purposes or activities including construction, reconstruction or
maintenance.
