SW 34th St & SW Williston Rd ranks 13 citywide, with 125 crashes logged in the period since 2022. The evidence points to an elevated pattern of rear-end collisions, which comprised 71 crashes during the 2015-2018 FDOT monitoring period. The imagery shows that the intersection is signalized, and FDOT road records document multilane approaches. Implementing appropriate yellow change intervals provides a low-cost countermeasure supported by FHWA safety effectiveness evaluations to address crash patterns at this signalized junction.

Rear-end. In the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, rear-end crashes accounted for 71 crashes compared to 55 expected at similar corners, comprising 61% of crashes. The imagery shows the intersection is signalized. FDOT's road records indicate a speed limit 45 mph and up to 4 lanes.
