Read the full write-up
SW 13th St & SW 16th Ave ranks 6 citywide, recording 131 crashes since 2022 compared to 44 predicted for similar corners. During the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, left-turn collisions emerged as the distinctive crash pattern. The evidence points to turning conflicts as an area of concern despite dedicated turn lanes on each approach. Installing appropriate yellow change intervals is recommended, alongside a review of left-turn signal phasing.
Left-turn. Left-turn collisions represent a distinctive pattern, with 18 crashes in the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period compared to 11 expected at similar corners. The imagery shows a dedicated left-turn lane is visible on 4 of 4 legs, and the intersection is signalized. The imagery shows whether left turns get a protected arrow can't be read reliably from the imagery.
