Read the full write-up
SW 34th St & SW 35th Pl ranks 71 citywide with 72 observed crashes since 2022, compared to 61 predicted for a similar corner. The screening identified 2 excess crashes per year with a crash rate of 0.7 per million entering vehicles. Rear-end events are the most frequent collision type, which is normal for similar corners without distinctive crash patterns. Appropriate yellow change intervals provide a low-cost countermeasure for this signalized intersection, where FHWA reports associated reductions in total and injury crashes.
Rear-end. Rear-end collisions accounted for 54% of FDOT crashes compared to 52% at similar corners. Because this type is not listed as distinctive, it is normal for similar corners. The evidence points to typical signalized corridor crash distributions.
