MARTIN COUNTY CRASH SURVEILLANCE REPORT FROM JULY 1, 2011 TO JUNE 30, 2013 IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF CRASHES AT INTERSECTIONS & RAIL CROSSINGS AND INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS & BICYCLISTS APRIL 14, 2014

1 Introduction 1.1 Background / Purpose The Martin County Comprehensive Growth Management Plan requires the Engineering Department prepare a crash surveillance report every other year that identifies, analyzes, and provides recommendations for reducing high-hazard intersections and fatal crashes as well as crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Crash surveillance is also a requirement of the Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization s (MPO) Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The purpose of the report is to provide a tool to assist in setting priorities for improvements for the five-year Capital Improvement Plan. The last Crash Surveillance Report was through June 30, 2011. The report is divided into three sections: by intersection type; non-motorized types; and fatalities. The intersection types are further broken down into signalized, unsignalized, and rail crossings. The non-motorized types are broken down into those involving bicyclists and pedestrians. 1.2 Data Source The data source utilized in the preparation of the report is the Martin County Traffic Division s crash database. The Martin County Traffic Division s database is populated with data from crash reports provided by the Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and local law enforcement agencies. In Florida, traffic crashes are reported by the use of two forms commonly referred to as the Long Form and the Short Form. A Long Form crash report is used when one or more of the following criteria are met: Death or personal injury Leaving the scene involving damage to - vehicles or property Driving while under the influence The Short Form crash report is used to report all other types of traffic crashes. A study of crash patterns in central Florida found that nearly 65 percent of crashes at signalized intersections were reported on Short Forms. 1 The Martin County crash database contains data from both Short and Long Form crash reports. However, on July 1 st 2010, legislation was affected that eliminated the requirement of the DHSMV to collect and track Short Form crash reports. Although Short Form crash reports were collected and maintained by local law enforcement agencies, many were not formatted in a manner that could be entered into the Martin County database. On July 1 st 2012, the requirement of the DHSMV to collect and track Short Form crash reports was reinstated. Subsequently, the Martin County crash database has a lower number of crashes reported between July 2010 and July 2012 than other years. 1 ITE Journal Type of Collision and Crash Data Evaluation at Signalized Intersections FEBRUARY 2006 Crash Surveillance Report Page 1 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

It is also important to note that other agencies, such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), record only Long Form crash data. So, when comparing crash statistics in this report to statistics provided by another agency, one must determine if the other agency s data includes both Short and Long Form crash reports. The Martin County crash database classifies crashes by cardinal direction (North, East, South, and West) and crash type. The crash types utilized by the Martin County database are: Head on Bicycle Pedestrian Off Road Other Rollover Rear end Right / Left Right / Through Right / U-Turn Left Rear Left Leaving Left Entering Right angle Same direction sideswipe Opposing sideswipe Unknown The crash types are self-explanatory with the exception of Other. Some examples of Other crashes include vehicles backing up at a signalized intersection, cargo falling off of a vehicle, or crashes involving a vehicle exiting a driveway near a signalized intersection. 2 Intersections 2.1..1 Signalized intersections In selecting an intersection for a detailed safety analysis, the key questions are: What is the safety performance of the location in comparison with similar locations? Is the safety performance at the location acceptable or not acceptable? 2 In order to answer these questions a novel method by Adebel-Aty, Lee, and Brady was utilized. 3 Adebel-Aty, Lee, and Brady found that the number of approach lanes of an intersection has a high correlation to the number of crashes by type. The advantage of this method is that the number of approach lanes per intersection is readily obtainable. Whereas other methods, such as the crash rate per million vehicles, require additional data that is not always readily available, such as the number of vehicles approaching the intersection every day during the time period in question. All intersections that were signalized on or before July 1 st 2011 were queried for crashes within 300 feet of the intersection. The number of approach lanes (excluding non-channelized right turn lanes) was determined from the County s January 2013 aerial photos. 2 FHWA Signalized intersection information guide 3 ITE Journal April 2006 Crash Surveillance Report Page 2 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

When summarizing crashes at signalized intersection by type, the direction of travel of crashes was ignored. Due to the relatively low number of crashes at signalized intersections, the following subset of crash types were combined as shown in Table 1: Database Type Right / Left Right / Through Right / U-Turn Left Rear Left Leaving Left Entering Same direction sideswipe Opposing sideswipe Combined Type Right Left Sideswipe Table 1 : Combined Crash Types The crash data for signalized intersections is summarized in Appendix A. The relationship of the average number of crashes per year to the number of approach lanes for all signalized intersections was plotted and an equation was fitted to the data. The intersections that exceed 60% of the expected (fitted curve) value of the fitted equation were chosen for detailed study. 2.1..2 Results Rear end collisions were found to be the most frequent type and directly related to the number of approach lanes. An equation was fitted for rear end collisions to assist in determining whether rear end crashes are overrepresented at a particular intersection. Equations were not fitted to the other crash types. The resulting scatter plots are located in Appendix B. These plots allow analysts to determine if a particular crash type is overrepresented when performing a safety study of a signalized intersection. The relationship of the average number of crashes per year to the number of approach lanes for all signalized intersections was plotted for all crash types with the exception of crash types Unknown and Rollover, since their occurrence at signalized intersections was insignificant. The relationship of the average number of crashes per to the number of approach lanes for T and four-way intersections is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively.

The intersections that exceed 60% of the expected value of the fitted equation are identified in Table 2. Crash diagrams and aerial photos of the intersections can be found in Appendix C. T Intersections Number of crashes in reporting period SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Indian Street 40 SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Cove Road 28 CR-711 (SW Pratt Whitney Road) at SW Bulldog Way 17 SE Willoughby Boulevard at SE Cove Road 11 Four-way Intersections SR-5 (US-1 / NW Federal Highway) at NW Britt Road 101 SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Salerno Road 78 SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) at SW Mapp Road 68 SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Lost River Road 55 SR5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at CR-708 (SE Bridge Road) 39 SR-714 (SE Monterey Road) at SE Willoughby Boulevard 39 SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) at SW Matheson Avenue 35 SR5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Osprey Street 20 CR-714 (SW Martin Highway) at CR-713 (SW High Meadow Avenue 20 CR-A1A (SE Dixie Highway) at SE Osprey Street 14 CR-707 (NE Indian River Drive) at CR-707A (NE Jensen Beach Boulevard) 13 Table 2 : Signalized intersections chosen for detailed study 2.1..3 Analysis of intersections SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Indian Street 40 crashes were reported with 18 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The intersection was under construction to be expanded and converted from a T intersection to a four-way intersection as part of the Veterans Memorial Bridge construction. Due to the significant changes in intersection geometry, no recommendations are provided. SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Cove Road 28 crashes were reported with 15 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant crash type was rear end on SR-76 (S Kanner Highway), which is not correctable. The volume of traffic on S Kanner Highway is approaching capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. Crash Surveillance Report Page 6 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

The 2008 to 2011 crash surveillance report identified a high number of westbound off road crashes. It should be noted that only one westbound off road crash was reported in the current reporting period. CR-711 (SW Pratt Whitney Road) at SW Bulldog Way 17 crashes were reported with 6 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant crash type was rear end on SW Bulldog Way, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. SE Willoughby Boulevard at SE Cove Road 10 crashes were reported with 6 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (eight of the ten) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. SR-5 (US-1 / NW Federal Highway) at NW Britt Road 101 crashes were reported with 47 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (nearly 60%) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. The volume of traffic on US-1 (NW Federal Highway) was approaching capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion, the County began construction of additional north and southbound left turns and an additional northbound auxiliary lane to this intersection in May 2013. The construction was complete in November 2013. Due to the significant changes in intersection geometry, no recommendations are provided. SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Salerno Road 78 crashes were reported 27 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (fifty of seventy eight) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) at SW Mapp Road 68 crashes were reported with 22 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (thirty seven of sixty eight) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. It appears the number of westbound rear end crashes may be under-reported because many crashes that occur on SW Martin Downs Boulevard as a result of the left turn queue at SW Mapp Road and are recorded as being at the SW Feroe Avenue intersection. The volume of traffic on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) was over capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion, the Veteran Memorial Bridge was constructed and opened to traffic in December 2013. This facility is a new route parallel to SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) that will reduce congestion at this intersection. With reduced congestion, it is anticipated that the rear end crashes frequency will be reduced. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. Crash Surveillance Report Page 7 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

SR-76 (S Kanner Highway) at SE Lost River Road 55 crashes were reported with 14 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant crash type was rear end on SR-76 (S Kanner Highway), which is not correctable. The volume of traffic on S Kanner Highway is approaching capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion and its proximity to Interstate 95, the County is designing improvements to the intersection and the interchange that will minimize the weaving traffic between the northbound off-ramp and this signalized intersection. The construction of these improvements is anticipated in the fall of 2014. Constrained access is an issue that residents south of the intersection have reported. There is a potential to relocate the residents shared driveway further from the intersection to alleviate issues with the vehicles queued on SW Lost River Road blocking access to their driveway. SR5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at CR-708 (SE Bridge Road) 39 crashes were reported with 17 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (twenty of thirty nine) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. SR-714 (SE Monterey Road) at SE Willoughby Boulevard 39 crashes were reported with 14 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant crash type was rear end on SR-714 (SE Monterey Road), which is not correctable.. The volume of traffic on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) was over capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion, the Veteran Memorial Bridge was constructed and opened to traffic in December 2013. This facility is a new route parallel to SR-714 (SE Monterey Road) that will reduce congestion at this intersection. With reduced congestion, it is anticipated that the rear end crashes frequency will be reduced. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) at SW Matheson Avenue 35 crashes were reported with 17 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (over 70%) crash type was rear end on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard), which is not correctable. The volume of traffic on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) was over capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion, the Veteran Memorial Bridge was constructed and opened to traffic in December 2013. This facility is a new route parallel to SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) that will reduce congestion at this intersection. With reduced congestion, it is anticipated that the rear end crashes frequency will be reduced. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. Crash Surveillance Report Page 8 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Osprey Street 20 crashes were reported with 11 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (55%) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. CR-714 (SW Martin Highway) at SW High Meadow Avenue 20 crashes were reported with 11 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. No predominant crash type was identified. The crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. This intersection will be widened as part of the CR-714 (SW Martin Highway) widening project that is anticipated to start in the summer of 2014. CR-A1A (SE Dixie Highway) at SE Osprey Street 14 crashes were reported with 8 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. The predominant (64%) crash type was rear end, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. CR-707 (NE Indian River Drive) at CR-707A (NE Jensen Beach Boulevard) 13 crashes were reported with 8 crashes expected (based on fitted curve value) over two years. No predominant crash type was identified. The crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. 2.2 Unsignalized Intersections The Martin County crash database was utilized to develop a list of unsignalized intersections (without roundabouts) with fifteen or more crashes in the two year period from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2013. Three intersections met the criteria. Aerial photos and crash diagrams of the intersections are contained in Appendix D. Analysis and recommendations for the three intersections are as follows: SR-714 (SW Monterey Road) at SW Palm City Road This intersection is a T intersection that prohibits left turns by a raised median. The predominant crash type was rear end, with most occurring in the southbound lane on SW Palm City Road and the westbound lane on SR-714 (SW Monterey Road). The volume of traffic on SR-714 (SW Monterey Road) was over capacity at this intersection and it is typical for a high number of rear end crashes to occur on a congested facility. Because of the congestion, the Veteran Memorial Bridge was constructed and opened to traffic in December 2013. This facility is a new route parallel to SR-714 (SW Monterey Road) that will reduce congestion at this intersection. With reduced congestion, it is anticipated that the rear end crashes frequency will be reduced. If the frequency of rear end crashes is not reduced, an acceleration / merge lane for the southbound to westbound right turn movement could be constructed, which bear significant costs since it would would entail widening the Palm City Bridge on SR-714 (SW Monterey Road). Similarly, a westbound right turn lane could be constructed. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. Crash Surveillance Report Page 9 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

SW Martin Downs Boulevard at SW Feroe Avenue The predominant crash type is westbound rear end that is caused by queuing from the signalized intersection on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard at SW Mapp Road. See the discussion regarding that intersection in Section 2.1..3 above. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. SR-5 (US-1 / NW Federal Highway at the Treasure Coast Square Mall entrance The predominant (nine of sixteen) crash type is rear end, which is not correctable. The remaining crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. 2.3 Rail Crossings Although the Martin County database contains where a crash occurs, the software s reporting of the type of crashes is limited. Since the Martin County database lacks the ability to crashes at rail crossings it was necessary to utilize the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office of Safety website. The FRA reports that from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2013 there were two such crashes reported in Martin County: NE 1 st Street over the FEC Railway The train was headed north on the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway and a pickup truck was stopped on the track with its headlights off. The driver made no attempt to move from the path of the train and was struck by the lead engine. The driver was transported to trauma center with unspecified injuries. S Colorado Avenue over the FEC Railway The train was traveling south on the FEC Railway and a vehicle was stopped on the track. Although the engineer attempted to stop, the driver made no attempt to move from the path of the train and was struck by the plow on the lead engine. No injuries were sustained. It does not appear these crashes are correctable. However, it should be noted that the FEC Railway has plans to add another track to support passenger rail service between Orlando and Miami. It is anticipated that the locations where the roadways cross railroad tracks will be enhanced with additional safety devices. 3 Non-motorized The number of crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians in the reporting period is summarized in the Table 3: Type Number reported on Long Form Number reported on Short Form Total number reported Number of fatalities Bicyclist 59 22 81 3 Pedestrian 50 3 53 5 Table 3 Summary of Bicycle and Pedestrian Crashes Crash Surveillance Report Page 10 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013

3.1 Analysis of Bicyclist Crashes Table 4 lists the intersections that had more than one bicyclist crash reported between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2013: Intersection Total number reported SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Salerno Road 3 SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Gran Park Way/SE Natalie Estates 2 SR-5 (US-1 / NW Federal Highway) at NW Eugenia Street 2 SR-714 (SE MONTEREY Road) at CR-A1A (SE Dixie Highway ) and SE Palm Beach Road 2 SR-5 (US-1 / NW Federal Highway) & NW Sunset Boulevard 2 SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Fischer Street 2 Table 4 - Cyclist Crash Count by Intersection The crash reports at the listed intersections were reviewed. The crashes did not appear in a pattern that warrants further action. 3.2 Analysis of Pedestrian Crashes Only the intersection of US-1 / SE Federal Highway at SE Contractors Way had more than one pedestrian crash reported between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2013. There were two pedestrian crashes reported at this intersection. Both of the crashes involved pedestrians that tested positive for blood alcohol levels above the legal limit. 4 Fatalities Excluding Florida s Turnpike and Interstate 95 there were a total of thirty fatalities in Martin County for the two year study period. Twenty-two motorists suffered fatalities. 50% of the fatal crashes occurred as a result of the driver s condition (blood alcohol content above the legal limit or medical emergency) or the vehicle s condition. The other 50% occurred because of the driver s failure to yield the right-of-way or failure to stay in the proper lane. It should be noted however, that two separate fatal crashes occurred on SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) at SE Eaglewood Way due to a driver s failure to yield the right-of-way to southbound traffic on SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway). As a result, the Florida Department of Transportation lowered the speed limit on SR-5 (US-1 / SE Federal Highway) and added signs to warn motorists of the side street traffic. Three bicyclists suffered fatalities. The first bicyclist was struck crossing five lanes of traffic on SR-714 (SW Martin Downs Boulevard) at a location without traffic control devices or a marked crosswalk. The second bicyclist was struck while stopped on the side of the SE Beach Road; the bicyclist was wearing dark clothing and it was after dark. The third bicyclist was struck crossing S. Colorado Ave. at a location without traffic control devices or a marked crosswalk. The bicyclist had a blood alcohol limit above the legal limit. Crash Surveillance Report Page 11 7/01/2011 through 6/30/2013
