Read the full write-up
At W Newberry Rd, the signalized intersection recorded 126 crashes since 2022, placing its citywide screening rank at 23. Historical FDOT records show left-turn collisions are a distinctive pattern at this location. The imagery shows a dedicated left-turn lane is visible on only one leg with none on the east and west legs, and whether left turns get a protected arrow can't be read reliably from the imagery. The evidence points to installing dedicated left-turn lanes, which is associated with crash reductions across intersection approaches according to FHWA documentation.
Left-turn. In 2015-2018 (FDOT), there were 27 left-turn crashes compared to 18 expected at similar corners, making up 18% of crashes against a 12% baseline. The imagery shows a dedicated left-turn lane is visible on 1 of 3 legs, none on the east, west legs, and the intersection is signalized. Whether left turns get a protected arrow can't be read reliably from the imagery.
