Using the traffic data collected for the study corridor, Volume to Capacity (V/C) ratios were calculated for the roadway segments along US 41. All roadway segments along US 41 were found to be operating with an acceptable V/C ratio with the exception of the segment from SR 64/Manatee Avenue to Riverside Drive.

Existing intersection delays and LOS information were calculated for the 30 signalized intersections within the study corridor. The following signalized intersections exceeded the targeted LOS D in the existing conditions:

The stop-controlled intersection at US 41 and Pine Street N was found to exceed the target LOS for both a major and minor street approaches under the existing conditions. The following stop-controlled intersections along US 41 were found to exceed the target LOS for a minor street approach in the existing conditions:

The performance of alternative transportation modes, such as walking, cycling, and transit, were evaluated based on the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS), which quantifies the amount of discomfort felt by travelers walking or cycling along a roadway. In general, LTS 1 indicates the highest comfort level, and LTS 4 indicates the lowest comfort level.

Segments along US 41 varied from LTS 1 to LTS 4 for the pedestrian analysis while all bicycle analysis resulted in the LTS 4, the lowest comfort levels, except for 2 segments, Riverside Drive to 7th Street West and 7th Street West to 10th Street West. The major contributing factors to the low scores were the lack of bicycle lanes, high AADTs, high posted speed limits, and lack of separation from the vehicular travel lanes.

At the time of publication, FDOT District One had identified a list of the top 20 fatal roadway segments in the district. Of those, the following six segments and their ranking were located within the study limits:
