As Shown in Figure 2-7, a heat map showing the areas of crash concentrations along the US 41 and US 301 corridors. The highest densities are at or near major signalized intersections. Notable hotspots include the US 41 and westbound SR 64/Manatee Avenue intersection, the US 41 and 7th St West intersection, the US 41 and 17th St East intersection, and the US 41 and 21st St East intersection. These areas show clusters of high crash intensity, suggesting recurring conflict points. The area with the highest crash density is just south of the DeSoto Bridge.
More details regarding the crashes, contributing causes, and traffic patterns can be found in the PTAR.
