Safety screening evaluates this intersection following 111 observed crashes in the period since 2022. For crash type distributions in the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, sideswipe events emerged as a distinctive pattern, accounting for 30 crashes. The imagery shows that the intersection is signalized. FDOT road records document posted speed limits along the multi-lane corridor. The evidence points to corridor access management as the primary countermeasure for this location. FHWA reports reductions in fatal and injury crashes along urban and suburban arterials when implementing corridor access management.
Sideswipe. In the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, sideswipe crashes accounted for 30 crashes compared to 16 expected at similar corners. The imagery shows that the intersection is signalized. FDOT's road records indicate a speed limit of 35 mph and up to 5 lanes.
