Short answer
Index 700-012 is the FDOT Standard Plan for Single Post Sign Support Barrier Side-Mounted, part of Series 700 (Signing, Pavement Markings and Lighting). The sections below are extracted from FDOT's Standard Plans Instructions (SPI) for this index — design criteria, assumptions and limitations, and what your plans must show.
Design Criteria
Design Criteria AASHTO LRFD Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals (LRFDLTS-1) ; Structures Manual (SM) Volume 3, FDOT Modifications to LRFDLTS-1; Structures Manual (SM) Introduction, I.6

Design Assumptions and Limitations
Design Assumptions and Limitations See notes on Index 700-012 , FDM 230 , FDM 261 , and the Structures Manual (SM) , Volume 3. Work with Index 700-010 . Limit the use of Index 700-012 to Bridge Traffic Railings and Wall Coping with Concrete Barriers where ground mounting is not feasible and signing cannot be placed outside the limits of the traffic railing.
Intended for use with static signs only. Tabulated Maximum Sign Area, Dim A and Dim C, are based on a Wind Speed of 110 MPH and a bridge height of 75' above surrounding areas. Sign Post clearance from front face of barrier is detailed to meet the maximum setback distance requirements of SDG 6.7 .
Maximum sign width is 60 inches. Sign Supports have been detailed for placement on new or existing concrete traffic and pedestrian railings. Anchorage details are for Adhesive Bonded Anchors.
Undercut Anchors may be used in lieu of Adhesive bonded Anchors when approved by the District Structures Design Engineer and the State Structures Engineer, on a project-by-project basis. If approved, project specific details will be required in the Plans. When using Undercut Anchors, the designer must submit a request to the District Specifications Office to use Developmental Specifications Dev416 and Dev937 for Post-installed Anchor Systems which includes provisions for both Adhesive Bonded Anchors and Undercut Anchors.
See SDG 1.6 for more information.
