S.R. A1A Midblock Crossings At Watson Drive and East Coral Way

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is moving forward with construction of the midblock pedestrian crosswalks along State Road (S.R.) A1A at Watson Drive and Coral Way in Indialantic. These improvements aim to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility with features such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), in-roadway warning lights, activation buttons with audible instructions, and clear signage and pavement markings consistent with other existing crossings along the corridor.

Although construction began in spring 2025, progress was delayed due to supply chain issues affecting critical components like RRFBs and in-roadway lighting. Additionally, field conditions at Coral Way required a design revision to improve sidewalk connectivity on the east side of S.R. A1A. FDOT worked to resolve these challenges and will now be completing the installation.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION

Residents and motorists should anticipate intermittent northbound and southbound lane closures on S.R. A1A. Please follow posted signage, avoid distractions, and pay close attention when driving through the construction zone. Access to properties will be maintained at all times during construction activities.

Please note that the construction schedule may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

HOW TO USE AN RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon)

Pedestrians and Bicyclists

Press the button to activate the RRFB signals; the lights will begin to flash indicating motorists a pedestrian is ready to cross.

Pedestrians

Make eye contact with motorists to be sure traffic is yielding before entering the crosswalk.

Walk defensively, scanning both directions to be sure motorists see you.

Always scan the road while crossing making sure all vehicles have stopped.

Bicyclists

Obey all traffic signs and signals.

When using the crosswalk, follow the pedestrian rules.

When using the travel lane, ride in the direction of traffic and always yield to pedestrians.

HOW TO USE AN RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon)

Motorists

Always stop for pedestrians and bicyclists at crosswalks.

Anticipate pedestrians crossing when approaching an RRFB.

Never pass another vehicle that has stopped or is slowing down at a crosswalk.

Always stop before the stop bar (line) pavement markings.

Never stop in or block a crosswalk.

Always stop for pedestrians entering or in a crosswalk.

Remain stopped for pedestrians regardless of activated RRFBs. 7. Wait for pedestrians to completely clear the crosswalk on your side of the road, and for anyone crossing into your lanes from the other direction. RRFBs use an irregular flash pattern that is similar to emergency flashers on police vehicles. (Source: FHWA, 2008)
