US 41 at Florida Boulevard Intersection Safety Analysis (Aug 2020)

Recommendations:

• Consider performing an access management study along US 41 within the influence area of the intersection of US 41 at 66th Avenue.
• Consider installing lighting fixtures within the intersection and street lighting along the approaches.
• Consider restriping the four crosswalks within the intersection with high emphasis treatment. Also consider repaving and restriping the west leg of the intersection.
• Consider changing the phasing of this intersection. Most of the left turn injury collisions within the intersection occurred when the turning vehicle had a permissive phase and misjudged the distance. Consider changing the left-turn phasing for the northbound and southbound approaches to protected only.
• Consider installing advanced street name signs along northbound and southbound US 41 as well as along eastbound Florida Boulevard to guide drivers in advance of the intersection.
• Consider enhancing signal visibility by adding reflective backplates on the signal heads which do not have one.

Currently there is only one light fixture within the intersection and there is lighting from surrounding businesses along the approaches. In this context it should be noted that 6 of the 13 pedestrian and bicycle collisions occurred at night.
