The road seriously has been quite dangerous for many years imo. Like others have said, after the Nancy Chance incident, I stay well off the side of the road and NEVER STOP in the median. Believe it or not it's quit fortunate the light at Paradise just changes every 60 seconds or so or I would never get across. For these crosswalks to become viable will absolutely require a reduced speed limit and more signage. They added larger bike lanes but the SUVS and trucks barely fit in the lanes, let alone the every 4 vehicles is a lawn service trailer or offshore fishing boat. Where are they, half in the bike lane. I don't use them. |

It doesn't help the situation that drivers here don't follow the law about yielding to pedestrians crossing the road. State law says that if they have one foot in the crosswalk, then automobiles are required to stop and let them cross. I'm not a fan of how tons of signs look, but they do tend to be a bit more effective. Where I lived on the guld coast, they put up a ton of crosswalks and signs with lights. It looks way too 'busy', but no one has gotten hit that I know of since then. |

Florida is the worst state for pedestrians. A1A was designed on the notion that there would be no pedestrians. I'm not sure that design took into account that speed limits would be ignored.

A stretch of A1A in the congested area of St. Augustine Beach has a new, simple safety measure. Baskets have been hung on existing poles on both sides of intersections with traffic lights. The baskets hold pink plastic flags. Pedestrians crossing grab a flag and wave it as they cross. I was skeptical until I saw someone using it for the first time. It really does grab your attention. |
