Type: Discussion Item
Subject: Discussion - Speed Reduction Study
Purpose of Item:
Discuss the results from the Residential Street Speed Reduction Limit Study completed
by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Background of Item:
In May 2017, Kimley-Horn completed a neighborhood speed limit study to evaluate the
speed limits and travel speeds for residential streets in 29 neighborhoods within the City
of Miami. The areas of Downtown, Park West, Virginia Key, and Dodge Island
neighborhoods were excluded from the analysis as they lack sufficient single-family
homes and local residential roadways. Traffic data were collected along residential
roadways within each neighborhood. The data was analyzed and indicates that the
residential neighborhoods within the City of Miami meet FDOT criteria for a posted
speed limit of 25 mph on a citywide basis for residential streets. The data analysis also
determined that three (3) study neighborhoods meet FDOT criteria for a posted speed
limit of 20 mph.
Should the City decide to implement the reduction of speed limits in residential areas, it
will have to enter into an inter -local agreement with Miami -Dade. The City will be
responsible for installing and maintaining all new signs on City -maintained roadways
and all residential streets that intersect the boundaries of the city, collector, and arterial
roadways within the city limits in an effort to make drivers aware of regulatory speeds
that differ from FDOT, County, and other municipality maintained roadways.
Pursuant to the approval of Resolutions R-16-0560 and R-16-0620, District 4 and
District 3 Commissioners, respectively, are urging the City to request the approval from
Miami -Dade County for the implementation of the speed reduction signage throughout
low density residentially zone neighborhood streets.
