Read the full write-up
SW 35th Blvd & SW Archer Rd recorded 139 crashes since 2022, substantially exceeding the 82 crashes predicted for similar corners. During the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, sideswipe crashes represented an elevated crash pattern with 23 crashes. FDOT road records document multi-lane arterial characteristics with a posted speed limit, and the imagery shows the intersection is signalized. Safety screening indicates excess crashes per year at this location. The recommended countermeasure is corridor access management (fewer driveways), for which FHWA reports a 25-31% reduction in fatal and injury crashes along urban/suburban arterials.
Sideswipe. During the 2015-2018 (FDOT) period, 23 sideswipe crashes occurred compared to 15 expected at similar corners. FDOT road records show a speed limit 45 mph and up to 6 lanes. The imagery shows the intersection is signalized.
