NW 16th Blvd & NW 43rd St
Grade F. About 28 crashes a year, 1.8× what a similar intersection sees. Most are rear-end crashes; angle crashes stand out. Suggested fix: appropriate yellow change intervals.

Read the full write-up
In dataGNV reporting since 2022, the intersection recorded 127 crashes, resulting in excess crashes per year above predicted levels. In the 2015-2018 FDOT period, angle collisions were identified as the distinctive crash pattern with 25 crashes. Rear-end collisions were the top crash type, which is normal for similar corners. The imagery shows that the intersection is signalized. The evidence points to signal clearance timing as a contributing factor. Installing appropriate yellow change intervals is the recommended low-cost countermeasure to address these intersection conflicts.
Angle. In 2015-2018 (FDOT), angle crashes accounted for 24% of collisions with 25 crashes, compared to 16% expected at similar corners. The imagery shows that the intersection is signalized and 2 of 4 legs have a raised median. The evidence points to angle collisions as a distinctive crash pattern at this location.
