About this file

This is an Inspection Checklist (Appendix B) for the Bus Stop Sign Program, a county-wide initiative by Miami-Dade County, Florida, for the fabrication, installation, replacement, relocation, and maintenance of standardized bus stop sign assemblies. The checklist establishes comprehensive inspection protocols to ensure the quality and safety of bus stop signage throughout the county. The inspection procedures include evaluations of structural integrity, vandalism damage, sign fading and visibility, legibility and accuracy of signage information, and surrounding area accessibility, with contractors required to remove outdated signage and update information as necessary.

The checklist mandates that inspectors verify proper installation and mounting of bus stop signs, confirm compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements, and document hazards or damaged amenities that pose safety concerns. Inspections must confirm that all text and symbols remain readable from appropriate distances, reflective elements maintain visibility during low-light conditions, and the surrounding area remains clear of obstructions that could impede access or visibility. Contractors are responsible for identifying and reporting structural defects, unauthorized postings or graffiti, and debris accumulation that could compromise sign functionality or pedestrian safety.
