Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 14-51.065 - Design
(1) The planning, design, installation, and
maintenance of TODS and their supporting structures are the responsibility of
the local government and must conform to the criteria in subsection
14-51.014(8),
F.A.C., Design Standard Index 17354 and the applicable sections of the
MUTCD.
(2) If different supporting
structures are proposed for use on the state highway system, they shall be
designed, constructed, and installed to meet the Department's clear zone and
safety criteria, including breakaway features. The design shall be signed and
sealed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Florida.
(3) TODS assemblies shall have a maximum of
five panels on two posts. TODS assemblies that are designed for a single post
shall have a maximum of two panels. Sign panels shall be rectangular in shape
and have white lettering on a blue background. The optional top panel may have
the text "TOURIST ACTIVITIES" and a pictograph that identifies the TODS program
jurisdiction. The other four panels are reserved for qualifying destinations.
The panel legend is limited to one destination identification, a pictograph or
in its place a cultural, recreational, or general service symbol, the
directional arrow, and destination distance. There is a maximum of two lines of
legend per destination panel.
(4)
General service, recreational, and cultural interest symbols may not be added
as individual auxiliary sign panels to the TODS assembly, but may be contained
in the individual panel with the business identification text, in the place of
a pictograph. No other type of sign or legend may be added to a TODS
assembly.
(5) After proper notice
to the local government, the Department will remove any non-conforming
panel.
(6) If a destination
qualifies for a business logo under Rule Chapter 14-85, F.A.C., it shall not be
displayed on an existing TODS, even where it cannot be accommodated by the LOGO
sign program. TODS may not be used to trailblaze for LOGO
participants.
