(McMahon) has prepared a golf cart evaluation for permitting the use of golf carts on Tequesta Drive, from Country Club Drive to Paint Drive/Pinetree Drive, in the Village of Tequesta. Based on conversations with Village of Tequesta staff, the Village permits the use of golf carts on the roadway within the'requesta Country Club Community and on CounLry Club Drive. Further, they have received requests to allow golf carts on Tequesta Drive- for the purpose of extending access to destinations farther east, such as the First Presbyterian Church of Tequesta. Figure 1 graphically depicts the study area. Figure 1 Study Area For the purpose of this study, a vehicle is defined as an automobile, truck, van, bus, and other motor vehicles, but excludes golf carts. - 1 - Page 34 of 62 Agenda Item #3. 0 2.0 CRITERIA FOR GOLF CART USE The use of golf carts an facilities within public roadway right-of-way in Florida is regulated by Florida State Statute Chapter 316, Section 212. Within the Village of Tequesta, golf cart use on public roads is further regulated by Village of Tequesta Ordinance 606, Section 46-2. 2.1 Village of Tequesta Ordinance Village Ordinance Number 606, Section 46-2, provided in Appendix A, includes requirements such as. • Streets are to be designated for golf cart use by the Village • Roads designated for use by golf carts shall be posted with signs • Golf cart operators must be a minimum age of 16 years • Occupant limit in golf carts • Lists the minimum standard equipment for the golf cart: efficient brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning devices (front and rear) 0 Golf carts operated between sunset and sunrise must'additionally have head lights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield 2.2 Florldo State Statute Florida State Statute 316,212, also provided in Appendix A, indicates that golf cart use on public roads in thL,3 state is prohibited except where certain criteria is met. Local governments may designate a roadway under their jurisdiction for use by golf carts, however, speed, volume, and character of vehicular traffic, among other condition,-,, must be considered in the detennination. A local government may enact an ordinance to permit golf cart operation on sidewalks adjacent to public roads if the sidewalk is a minimum of eight (8) feet wide, the golf carts can operatesafely with pedestrians and bicvcles, golf carts ha ve the minimum required equipment, signs are posted, and the local government consults with the Department of Transportation prior to adopting an ordinance, -2- Page 35 of 62 Agenda Item #3. 0 The State Statute also distinguishes between golf carts and "low speed vehicles." One characteristic 0 0 of golf carts is a nmxirnun-i speed capability of 20 miles per hour (Mph), whereas a low speed vehicle has a maximum speed between 20 and 25 mph. The minimum required equipment for low speed vehicles is more robust, requiring features such as headlamps, stop lamps, turnsignals, taillamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seatbelts, and vehicle identification numbers. Low speed vehicles may operate on public roads where the posted speed is 35 mph or less. The operator must have a valid driver's license. In addition to State Statutes regulating golf cart use on public roads, the State Statute regarding posted speeds is relevant to this evaluation. State Statute 316.189 dictates that criteria set forth by the Department of Transportation should be adhered to. According to the Department of Transportation, the posted speed cannot be more than eight (8) mph lower that the 8511, percentile speed of traffic on that roadway. -3- Page 36 of 62 Agenda Item #3. E • • 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 3.1 Roadway Characteristics Tequesta Drive is a two-lane, undivided, local roadway from Country Club Drive to Point [give with a posted spud limit of 30 mph. The land use north and south of Tequesta Drive is mostly residential, There is a First Presbyterian Church of Tequesta located along the south side of Tequesta Drive, just west of Point Drive. 'Tequesta Drive, within the study area, is intersected by Bavview Road from the south and Gulfstream Drive from the north. The roadway does not have curb or paved shoulders, except at the corners of the Country Club Drive intersection, There are no transit stops, bicycle lanes, street lighting, or on -street parking along this segment of Tequesta Drive. Sidewalk exists and is located along the south side of the roadway and on the north side of the roadway at the comer of the Country Club Drive intersection, Based on the Palm Beech County Property Appraiser website, the right-of-way ranges from approximately 120 feet to 135 feet wide. The existing typical section of Tequesta Drive from Country Club Drive- to Point Drive is depicted on Figure 2, Figure 2 Existing Typical Section Teque5t a Drive - 4 - Page 37 of 62 Agenda Item #3. E The pavement width was measured to range from 24 to 28 feet, The typical section includes significant bufferarea south of the roadway, ranging from 46 to 80 feet wide, with a variety of trees and shrubs and a six (6) -foot wide sidewalk that meanders from Country Club Drive to Point Drive. 11-tere are also decorative, pedestrian level lighting fixtures along the sidewalk between Country Club Drive and the west church driveway. On the nor-th side of the roadwav, the swale/landscaping area was measured to range from 25 to 50 feet wide with trees, shrub,-,, mailboxes, driveway, and segments of sidewalk. Condition photographs taken during the field reviews are included in Appendix B. 3.2 Speed Data Speed and count data were collected along Tequesta Drive in thevicinity of Bayview Reid on Wednesday, May'15,2019. For the eastbound direction, the daily traffic volume was 3,837 vehicles per day (vpd). The 8511, percentile speed was 33 mph. For the ivestbound direction, the average daily traffic volume was 4,273 vpd and the 8511, percentile speed was 34 mph, The average speed of vehicles on Tequesta Drive was 30 mph in both directions. The highest speed recorded in either direction was in the range of 46 to 50 rnph. The speed data is attached in Appendix C. 3.3 Evaluation of Goff Cart Use on Existing Tequestia Drive The determination of a golf cart designation on public roads must consider speed, volume, and character of motor vehicles because safety is a primary consideration. Golf carts are not designed to withstand collisions, offer relatively little protection for occupants, and are relatively slow-moving vehicles. Mixing golf carts with vehicles on roadswhere traffic volumes are high and where traffic is fast moving raises serious safety concerns. A review of specifications for golf cart models indicated a maximum speed of 15 mph and a width of - approximately four (4) feeL Therefore, the speed differential between the fastest golf cart and the maximum collected vehicle 8511, percentile speed would be 19 mph. Speed differentials of greater than 10 mph should be avoided, if possible. -15- Page 38 of 62 Agenda Item #3. .7 0 4.0 ALTERNATIVES DEVELOPMENT McMahon considered four ( l) concepts for the Village of Tequesta to consider to accommodate golf carts on the Tequesta Drive corridor. Concept 1 would widen the sidewalk located along the south side of Tequesta Drive to a minimum of tight (8) feet wide and adapt an ordinance to permit golf carts on the sidewalk. Concept 2 would widen the roadway and provide golf cart lanes with a raised buffer to separate the golf carts from vehicular traffic. Concept 3 would consider design elements for Tequesta Drive to reduce the design speed and allow golf tarts to travel in the roadway, Deducing the design speed could minimize the safety issues associated with the speed differential. A design speed of 30 mph would allow for a posted speed of 2.5 mph and create a viable condition for golf carts in the roadway. Concept 4 would provide a multi -use path along the north side of Tequesta Drive that would accommodate pedestrians, bicycles and golf carts. �`hile sufficient right of way exists, Concept 4 was eliminated due to the additional potential impacts to mail boxes, drivewaN.s, and utilities; and due to the absence of sidewalk, construction costs, and roadway crossings. Concepts 1, 2, and ; were carried forward to alternatives development. The alternatives' typical sections were compared against the existing sample section shoivii on Figure 3. Figure 3 Existing Sample Section -Te que_-Dta Drive EXI5tI r"Cj (5Ar-ir?le- ` ectio-1) - 6 - Page 39 of 62 Agenda Item #3. • 4.1 Alternative 1 - Golf Carts on Sidewalk This alternative would include widening the sidewalk to a multi -use path that will be shared by gulf carts, pedestrians and biL clists. To minimize conflicts between these three user types, McMahon suggests a 12-foot wide multi -use path. Widening the sidewalk to 12 feet wiII potentially impact seven (7) mature trees and several decorative lighting fixtures. The alternative could consider relocation of the trees, or a reduced path width in the vicinity of the affected trees. In addition, this alternative could impact irrigation equipment, signage and a Fire hydrant. No golf cart/vehicular conflicts are expected, with the exception of crossing locations. Generally, sidewalk specifications are adequate for golf cart use. This study assumes that sidewalk widening will match the existing 4" to G" concrete. The typical section for Alternative 1 is graphically depicted on Figure 4, Figure 4 Alternative 1 Typical Section ..;:I.,� ;I17.'H��1' � �. 1•,'. .i"-1'. bI-�IIh:: ", :il l�'1- i.o '� �. �LI -� Te J5ta Dr i V. Alt. No. ) (Coriver"t Sidevvalk to Pat-l) 5ignage will be required at the ends of the multi -use path. At Country Club Drive, a sign should indicate that the golf carts exiting the path should begin using the roadway. An example concept is depicted on Figure 5. %- Page 40 of 62 Agenda Item #3. • is Figure 5 Tequesto Drive/Country Club Drive Signage Concept 4.2 Alternative 2 - Buffered Goff Cart Lanes This alternative would have a future roadway width of :32 feet, including 11-foot vehicle travel lades, a two (2)-foot raised buffer, and eight (8) feet of pavement for the golf cart lanes. With appropriate signage, no conflicts are expected between golf carts and pedestrians, bicyclists or vehicular traffic, with the exception of crossing locations. This alternative will potentially impact some low vegetation, one (1) tree, signage, and the diagonal sidewalk located along the south side of Tequesta Drive, just east of Gulfstream Drive. Street lighting should be considered with this altemative. An acceptable pavement design for this alternative would include 4 ?ri inches of asphalt over 4 inches of aggregate base. The typical section for Alternative 2 is shop , n on Figure 6. - - Page 41 of 62 Agenda Item #3. Figure d Alternative 2 Typical Section 1{ _ h" T d". a i :.aGifi _7 ! a . l iu Teque5ta Drive Alt. No. 2 (BufferecJ Golf Cart La-ie5 4.3 Alternative 3 - Golf Carts within the Roadway This alternative would consider design elements forTecluesta Drive to reduce the design speed and allow golf carts to travel can the roadway, A design speed of 30 mph would allow for a posted speed cif 25 mph and create a viable condition for golf carts in the roadway. The most effective way to reduce the design speed for Tecluesta Drive would lie to introduce shifts in the travelway, which will include areas of pavement removal, areas of pavement addition, and potential median additions along the segment of Tecluestta Drive within the study area. No conflicts are expected between golf carts and pedestrians, except at crossing locations. Conflicts are expected between golf carts and vehicular traffic or bicyclists that ride within the roadway. Street lighting should be considered i ith this alternative. The pavement section for this alternative shall match the existing roadway. The typical sections for Alternative 3, graphically depicting a shift of the roadway to the sOaith and north, are shown on Figure 7. A sample plan view of this alternative is shown on • Figure S. - 9 - Page 42 of 62 Agenda Item #3. 0 0 Figure 7 Alternative 3 Typical Sections Te-,61L-je5L,a Drive, A t.

Although cast may ultimately be a factor in the determination of a preferred alternative, casts cannot be considered until design plans are prepared. Table 1 provides a comparison bettiveen the three alternatives and ranks the impacts from none to very high. Impacts to crash severity and conflicts should be weighted more heavily than impacts to roadway features.

Therefore, conflicts, with vehicles are designated as low as they are only expected while crossing Bayview Road, the church driveways, and at the Tequesta Drive/Cotmtry Club Drive intersection. While Alternative 2 provides a buffered golf cart path that is exclusively for the use of golf carts, it is located adjacent to the roadway and therefore has a moderate impact. Alternative 3 requires golf carts to ride along the roadway with vehicular traffic, and, therefore, has been designated as a very high impact. Vehicular traffic volume is relatively high. In addition, vehicular traffic will be required to travel at low speeds behind a golf cart, which could increase vehicular congestion and/or cause risky weaving maneuvers of vehicles attempting to pass golf carts. Pedestrian Conflicts Alternative I provides a path where golf carts share the path with pedestrians. Therefom conflicts with pedestrians are designated as high. However, the proposed path will provide sufficient width for golf carts and pedestrians to travel &-ifely along the same path. In addition, pedestrian volumes arerelativelylow. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 do not require golf carts to travel along the same path as pedestrians, Conflicts with pedestrians will only occur at the driveway crossing of Bay -view Road and the church driveways. Therefore, the impacts are designated as low. 61gyplist CorMicts Alternative I provides a path where golf carts share the path with bicVdists that use the path. Therefore, conflicts with bicyclists are designated as high. However, the proposed path will provide sufficient width for golf carts and bicyclists to travel safety along the same path. in addition, bicyclist volumes are relatively low. Alternative 2 provides a buffered golf cart path that is exclusively for the use of golf carts, and therefore, has a low impact with bicyclists. Alternative 3 requires, golf carts to ride along the roadway with bicyclists that chose to use the roadway. Bicyclists were mostly observed to use the sidewalk during the field reviews. Therefore, the impact 0 has been designated as moderate. -12- Page 45 of 62 Agenda Item #3. Crash SevoWl Alternative I provides a path where golf carts share the path with bicyclists and pedestrians. However, volumes are expected to be low and these three user types are travelling at a very low speed. In addition, sufficient width is being proposed to accommodate all three user types, Therefore, crashseverity is designated as low. While Alternative 2 provides a buffered golf cart path that is exclusively for the use of golf carts, it is located adjacent to the roadway and, therefore, has a moderate impact. Alternative 3 requires golf carts to ride alona the roadway with vehicular traffic. Vehicular traffic volume is relatively high and vehicles are operating at speeds much higher than golf carts. Further, a golf cart offers no protection from a vehicle impact. Therefore, impact has been designated as very high. Trees/Irrigaflon/Signage and Decorafive UghiLing Alternative I requires the widening of the exiting sidewalk to accommodate a multi -use path. Depending on the alignment of this path, this alternative may require some removal/relocation of trees, irrigation structures, signage and/or decorative lighting and therefore, impacts have been designated as high. However, this is not anticipated to change the magnitude of construction cost& Alternatives 2 and 3 provide gulf cats facilities located where impacts to these features and low or none. Professional Opinion Each of the alternatives have advantages and disadvantages. Each of the alternatives are feasible options to service golf carts in the study corridor - From a traffic engineering perspective, the most important factor evaluated in this study is safety. It is the preparer's professional opinion, based on potential number and severity of crashes, that Alternative I is the safest alternative of those developed and evaluated. - 1� 13 Page 46 of 62 Agenda Item #3. 0 5.0 EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATION We believe the Village of Tequesta should continue to maintain all of the requirements in the current Golf Cart ordinance, including the minimum age of 16 years old for operators with possession of a valid driver's license. The Village should also consider the additional requirement of the following equiptnent for all golf carts operating in public right of way: 0 Vehicle registration tags Child restraint, where applicable Horns Windshield Headlights • Brake lighL5 • Turn signals F:\FL\ 1 1172M-Village�-0(-TE!quL,.sta-Tran%;xirtatir)mServicem% Ill i-2.M-15-ToquestaDrCi)[fCartEva[uaticm-, R-eportsA Rpt[Yi2519.doc -14- Page 47 of 62 Agenda Item #3. 0 APPENDIX A CRITERIA FOR GOLF CART USE 0 Page 48 of 62 Tequesta, FL Code. of Ordinances Page I of I Agenda Item #3. 0 Sec. 46-2. - Use of golf carts upon designated village streets. 1�1 (a) The Village of Tequesta hereby designates certain public roads or streets within the village of Tequesta for use by golf carts in accordance with F.S.

Prior to making such a designation, the responsible local governmental entity must first determine that golf carts may safely travel on or cross the public road or street, considering factors including the speed, volume, and character of motor vehicle traffic using the road or street. Upon a determination that golf carts may be safely operated on a designated road or street, the responsible governmental entity shall post appropriate signs to indicate that such operation is allowed. (2) A golf cart may be operated on a part of the State Highway System only under the following • conditions: (a) To cross a portion of the State Highway System which intersects a county road or municipal street that has been designated for use by gulf carts if the Department of Transportation has reviewed and approved the location and design of the crossing and any traffic control devices needed for safety purposes. (b) To cross, at midblock, a part of the State Highway System where a golf course is constructed on both sides of the highway if the Department of Transportation has reviewed and approved the location and design of the crossing and any traffic control devices needed for safety purposes. (c) A golf cart may be operated on a state road that has been designated for transfer to a local government unit pursuant to s. 335,0415 if the Department of Transportation determines that the operation of a golf cart within the right-of-way of the road will not impede the safe and efficient flow of motor vehicular traffic. The department may authorize the operation of golf carts on such a road if. 1. The road is the only available public road along which golf carts may travel or cross or the road provides the safest travel route among alternative routes available; and 2, The speed, volume, and character of motor vehicular traffic using the road is considered in making such a determination. Upon its determination that golf carts may be operated on a given road, the department shall post appropriate signs on the road to indicate that such operation is allowed. (3) Notwithstanding any other' provision of this section, a golf cart may be operated for the purpose of crossing a street or highway where a single mobile home park is located on both sides of the street or highway and is divided by that street or highway, provided that the governmental entity having original isjurisdiction over such street or highway shall review and approve the location of the crossing and require implementation of any traffic controls needed for safety purposes. This subsection shall apply Page 50 of 62 ht.tp:/."w-w-sv.le,,state, it u5'Stilt:utes,"hidex.cfn1"',App node=Display Sta(Lite&LIRL=C1.300-031.., 0 20'i"2)19 5ttittlteS & COMStittrti011 :G'rOW Stattrtei : Ulllille Stlr1�I)lil1C Agenda Item #3. isonly to residents or guests of the mobile home park. If notice is posted at the entrance and exit of any mobile home park where residents of the park operate golf carts or electric vehicles within the confines 0 • of the park, it is not necessary for the park to have a gate or other device at the entrance and exit in order for such golf carts or electric vehicles to be lawfully operated in the park, (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if authorized by the Division of Recreation and Parks of the Department of Environmental Protection, a golf cart may be operated on a road that is part of the State Park Road System if the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. (5) A golf cart may be operated only during the hours between sunrise and sunset, unless the responsible governmental entity has determined that a golf cart may be operated during the hours between sunset and sunrise and the golf cart is equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield. (6) A golf cart must be equipped with efficient brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, a rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning devices in both the front and rear. (7) A golf cart may not be operated on public roads or streets by any person under the age of 14. (8) A local governmental entity may enact an ordinance relating to: (a) Golf cart operation and equipment which is more restrictive than those enumerated in this section. Upon enactment of such ordinance, the local governmental entity shall post appropriate signs or otherwise inform the residents that such an ordinance exists and that it will be enforced within the local government's jurisdictional territory. An ordinance referred to in this section must apply only to an unlicensed driver. (b) Golf cart operation on sidewalks adjacent to specific segments of municipal streets, county roads, or state highways within the jurisdictional territory of the local governmental entity if: 1. The local governmental entity determines, after considering the condition and current use of the sidewalks, the character of the surrounding community, and the locations of authorized golf cart crossings, that golf carts, bicycles, and pedestrians may safely share the sidewalk; 2. The local governmental entity consults with the Department of Transportation before adopting the ordinance; 3. The ordinance restricts golf carts to a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour and permits such use on sidewalks adjacent to state highways only if the sidewalks are at least 8 feet wide; 4. The ordinance requires the golf carts to meet the equipment requirements in subsection (6). However, the ordinance may require additional equipment, including horns or other warning devices required by s. 316.271; and 5. The local governmental entity posts appropriate signs or otherwise informs residents that the ordinance exists and applies to such sidewalks.
