23  municipality is 30 miles per hour.  With respect to residence

29  altering the speed limit, both as to maximum, not to exceed 60

30  miles per hour, and minimum, after investigation determines

  4  non-limited-access state highways or connecting links or

  5  extensions thereof located within the municipality by not more

  6  than 5 miles per hour, when such change is reasonable and in

  7  conformity with criteria promulgated by the Department of

  8  Transportation or based upon traffic or engineering study

  9  conducted by the affected local government; however, the limit

10  may not be reduced below 45 miles per hour. A municipality

11  that reduces the speed limit on a non-limited-access state

12  highway or connecting link or extension thereof shall

13  reimburse the Department of Transportation for the cost of

18  county-maintained road is:

19         (a)  In any business or residence district, 30 miles

20  per hour in the daytime or nighttime; provided that with

21  respect to residence districts a county may set a maximum

22  speed limit of 25 miles per hour after an investigation

23  determines that such a limit is reasonable; and it shall not

24  be necessary to conduct a separate investigation in each

25  residence district.

26         (b)  On any other part of a county road not a business

27  or residence district, as set forth in s. 316.183.

  1  conformity to criteria promulgated by the Department of

  2  Transportation, except that no such speed zone shall permit a

11  may not be reduced below 45 miles per hour. A county that

12  reduces the speed limit on a non-limited-access state highway
