TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction Planning for safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services is important to the City of Satellite Beach. Such planning must be based on a future land use concept and should provide for attractive neighborhoods; meet the service needs of businesses; provide for access to schools, parks, and community facilities; and accommodate traffic which passes through the City but which does neither serve the City’s residents, nor contributes to the City’s economy. The effects of motorized traffic can be undesirable if unsafe conditions or inadequate facilities are allowed to occur. However, roadways must not be extended, enlarged, or otherwise modified based solely on traffic needs. The impact on environmental and economic conditions must also be considered. Public transportation has the potential to play a significant role in expanding the capacity of existing roadways. Moreover, bicycle and pedestrian needs should be considered as essential components of the City’s overall circulation system. Increased bicycle and pedestrian traffic may reduce the rate of motorized traffic growth. The City of Satellite Beach is located on a barrier island and is constrained by its geography. The City’s surface transportation system is served by two north-south arterials and by several collector roadways. There are no limited access thoroughfares, airports, ports, or railroads within the corporate limits. Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-1
I. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION DATA AND ANALYSIS A. EXISTING TRAFFIC SYSTEM Functional Classification Roadways are formally categorized by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) through a statewide, cooperative process with county and local jurisdictions. This ongoing process, known as Functional Classification, is used primarily to assign governmental responsibility for maintenance and roadway improvement funding. According to the FDOT functional classification system, roadways within urban areas are ranked in hierarchical order as follows: State Principal Arterial, State Minor Arterial, County Minor Arterials, County Urban Collectors and City (or local unincorporated area) Urban Collectors. While FDOT has a very slightly different nomenclature for non-urban areas, this does not apply to the City of Satellite Beach. Table 2-1 summarizes the current FDOT functional classification of roadways within the City of Satellite Beach. In addition, these roadways are depicted on the Existing Roadway Characteristics Map, 2009. Arterial roadways can be broadly defined as those facilities which carry relatively heavy volumes of traffic for activities such as shopping, employment and the movement of goods and services. Arterial roadways provide for regional movement; for travel to destinations outside the City; or for non-locally-oriented traffic to travel through Satellite Beach to other destinations within the region. Collector facilities serve an intermediate function to collect/distribute traffic between regional arterial facilities and local roadways. Local streets, in turn, serve as site-specific terminal routes for each end of a trip. State Principal Arterial - A major highway designed for the movement of large volumes of traffic over relatively long distances. This type of facility carries the major portion of trips through the urban areas of the county, as well as many trips not destined or originating within the county. This facility class does not exclude access to property, though its primary function is to facilitate longer distance movement. Access to adjacent properties should thus be controlled to the maximum extent possible. State and County Minor Arterials - Similar in function to a major arterial, this facility class is designed to carry moderate volumes of traffic between urban areas and to connect with the principal arterial system. A main function is to provide an intermediate connection between the major arterial system and streets within the local area. This facility allows more access to adjacent properties than the previous types of facilities. County (Major) Collector - Roadways which serve the internal traffic movement within a given geographic subarea and connect the subarea to the arterial system. This type of facility is not intended to serve long, through trips, but mainly short to moderate length trips. Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-2
