Key Terms
Crash - An occurrence where a road user collides with another road user, such as a car or truck,
motorcyclist, bicyclist, pedestrian, or other moving or stationary obstruction, such as an animal, road
debris, tree, pole, or building, that may result in injury or loss of life, trauma, and/or property damage.
Crashes can involve a single party or multiple parties.
High Injury Network (HIN) – A collection of streets where a disproportionate number of crashes that
result in someone being seriously injured or killed occur.
Kinetic Energy – In the safety context, kinetic energy refers to the combination of mass and speed of a
vehicle or other road user, like a bicyclist, involved in a crash. Depending on the angle of the crash, the
high the combination of mass and speed, the more likely the crash to result in a serious injury or death,
with the impact severity increasing exponentially as the speed a vehicle is drive increases.
KSI Crash – A crash that results in someone being killed or seriously injured.
Safety System Approach – A guiding safety approach that builds and reinforces multiple layers of
protection to both prevent crashes from occurring and minimize the harm caused to those involved when
a crash does occur.
Serious Injury – May also be referred to as an incapacitating injury or a severe injury. Serious injuries
may include broken bones, severed limbs, burns or internal injuries.
Transportation Disadvantaged Communities – Communities where people experience greater
transportation inequities to access jobs, housing, food, health care, education, and other destinations
due to overlapping factors, including demographics, features of the built environment, and in some
instances, a lack of prior investment in the transportation system.
Vision Zero – A road safety philosophy which states that no loss of life or incapacitating injury due to
traffic crashes is an acceptable price to pay for mobility.

Chapter 1 - Introduction
Purpose & Background
The City of Atlantic Beach’s Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP)
was developed to help the City achieve their goal of zero traffic-related
deaths and serious injuries on the streets of Atlantic Beach. The CSAP
will assist City Staff, City Commissioners, and other local partners in
making decisions when identifying and planning projects that will improve
the safety of all roadway users in Atlantic Beach. The identified projects serve as a menu of potential
countermeasures to address both historical and future safety concerns. This list includes a range of
short-term to long-term projects, recognizing that budget and resource constraints may prevent the
implementation of every project.
In an effort to support this goal, City of Atlantic Beach applied for grant funding from the United States
Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safe Streets and
Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. The grant funding obtained from this program was to prepare a
comprehensive analysis of the transportation and multimodal infrastructure in Atlantic Beach. The purpose
of the analysis is to identify areas of safety concern, where attention and safety funds can be directed to
improve safety throughout the City. The City was awarded a SS4A grant in the fiscal year 2022 grant cycle.
The CSAP has been prepared in accordance with the FHWA’s SS4A program. The data, engagement,
and performance metrics outlined herein were developed to adhere to the requirements of a
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, as defined by the SS4A Notice of Funding Opportunity.
What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is the idea that zero traffic related deaths and serious injuries is both a goal
and a mindset. Vision Zero prioritizes safe road design, enforcement, education, and
community engagement as core principles to achieve the goal and as a framework to
approach safety concerns. It emphasizes a holistic approach to transportation safety
recognizing that human error is inevitable, but roadways should be designed such that it minimizes the
consequences of those mistakes. It represents a comprehensive approach to not only improving safety, but
quality of life and mobility through the reduction of crash-related injuries.
What is the Safe Systems Approach?
The Safe Systems Approach is founded on the idea that humans make mistakes on roadways, but that
those mistakes should not result in a serious injury or death. The approach champions the idea that
roadway and support infrastructures should be managed to account for human error. The six principles
that form the basis of the Safe Systems Approach are the following:
1. Death and serious injuries are unacceptable
2. Humans make mistakes
3. Humans are vulnerable
4. Responsibility is shared
5. Safety is proactive
6. Redundancy is crucial
These principles are utilized to create programs which consider human error, resulting in programming
that is better poised to achieve the Vision Zero goal of no roadway deaths or serious injuries. Additionally,
the Safe Systems Approach heavily focuses on five complementary objectives:
• Safer People – Focus on user safety in the transportation
system by encouraging responsible behaviors and creating
system conditions that allow for safe travel.
• Safer Roads – Design roadways to accommodate potential
user mistakes and reduce injury severity and fatalities.
• Safer Vehicles – Improve accessibility to systems and
features in vehicles to reduce injury severity and fatalities.
• Safer Speeds – Work to reduce travel speeds within the
transportation system through design, education, and
targeted enforcement.
• Post-Crash Care – Improve chances of users surviving
a crash event through efficient emergency care and
preventing secondary crashes.
Leadership Commitment and Goals
City leadership plays an important role in helping
develop, implement, and model Vision Zero in
their communities. City leadership helps champion
initiatives, set safety goals, and gather the
support of the local community. City officials are
instrumental in bringing ideas from the public
and key stakeholders to work towards safety
improvements the community can be proud of.
The City of Atlantic Beach’s Board of
Commissioners unanimously passed Resolution
24-53 on October 14, 2024, which outlines their
goal of eliminating all traffic death and serious
injuries with a 75% reduction in traffic deaths and
serious injuries by year 2035. The adopted Vision
Zero Resolution is provided in Appendix A.

Chapter 2 - Safety Analysis
Reviewing and monitoring crash data will help inform the type of improvements and guide the spending
of safety improvement funds. This section dives deep into the historical crash trends in Atlantic Beach,
including contributing factors, driver behavior, and geospatial analysis. Crash patterns presented in this
section will be the focus of infrastructure and policy improvements.
Crash Trends & Patterns
Historical Crash Data Review
Reported crash records were
obtained for the City of Atlantic
Beach from the University of Florida’s
Signal Four Analytics.
A total of 1,503 crashes were
recorded within the City of Atlantic
beach during the 5-year analysis
period. Averaging approximately
500 crashes per year. The crashes
included 1 fatal crash (within 100 feet
of city limits) and 27 severe crashes
that resulted in at least one severe
injury. The frequency and severity of
crashes remained relatively consistent from 2020 onwards after a decrease from 2019. Since the review
of the crash data there have been three additional serious injury and fatal crashes in 2024.

Environmental Factors and Driver Behaviors
Crash risk increases under certain environmental factors, such as nighttime, bad weather, and slick road
surfaces. The most common environmental factors reported over the five-year period were nighttime
crashes, slick or wet road surface crashes, and crashes that occurred when it was raining. When
examining severe crashes, the percentage of crashes that occurred during night nearly doubles.
Other environmental factors such as bad weather and road surface conditions did not appear to have as
a dramatic effect on crash severity as crashes that occurred at night.
Driver behavior can also increase the risk of a crash occurring. Factors such as alcohol, drugs,
aggressive driving, and speeding not only increase the risk of a crash but also increase the risk of injury.
Only 5% of crashes were reported to have involved alcohol or drugs, but 21% of fatal and serious
injury crashes involved alcohol or drugs. Many residents in Atlantic Beach expressed concerns about
speeding in their community. Which as a pedestrian, bicyclist, and even motorist, made them feel unsafe
where they lived. While speeding was only a factor in 3% of overall crashes, the severity rate nearly
doubled with speed reported as factor in 7% .

Fatal and Serious Injury Crashes
The City of Atlantic Beach is already starting the journey to a Vision Zero goal in a good place. Fatal and
severe injury crashes make up just 2% of all crashes during the analysis period. On average, there were
approximately five serious injury crashes per year during the five-year analysis period. The year 2020
reported the lowest number of serious injury crashes, but the only recorded fatality.
The top three severe crash types (bicycle/pedestrian, left turn, and offroad crashes) were looked at in
more detail in the following sections to identify any patterns or trends that could be addressed by certain
countermeasures.

Pedestrian and Bike Crashes
During the 5-year analysis period, there were 26 total pedestrian crashes and 60 bicycle crashes. Four
of the pedestrian crashes and seven of the bicycle crashes resulted in a fatality or serious injury. While
bicycle and pedestrian crashes accounted for approximately 5% of all crashes, they made up 32% of the
fatal and serious injury crashes. Pedestrians and bicyclists have a disproportionately high percentage
of severe crash outcomes compared to motor vehicle occupants, with just over 1% of motor vehicle
crashes resulting in a fatality or serious injury.
52%
of bicyclist and
pedestrian crashes
reported in Atlantic
Beach occurred in a
crosswalk.
Left Turn Crashes
Left-turn crashes were the second most common type of crash resulting in serious injuries in Atlantic
Beach. Factors often contributing to left-turn crashes include misjudging speed or distance of oncoming
vehicles, failing to yield the right-of-way, or driver distractions.
Lane Departure Crashes
The third most common crash type resulting in serious injuries in Atlantic Beach were off road crashes.
Off road crashes are a subsect of crashes that involve lane departures. A lane departure crash is a vehicle
leaving its designated lane, crossing an edge line or center line, or otherwise departing from the traveled

Temporal Trends
Crashes in the City of Atlantic Beach were
relatively consistent throughout the year.
May had the largest number of crashes,
being the only month with over 10% of all
crashes occurring within the city limits.
Nearly all other months had between 7%
and 9% of all crashes. January was the
month with the greatest number of fatal
and incapacitating injury crashes, making
up 25% of these crashes. According to the
FDOT Peak Season Factor Category Report
for Duval County, the peak season traffic for
the area is from April 7 to May 18. This time
period overlaps with two of the three months
with the highest number of crashes.
The crash distribution by day of week
indicates that Tuesday and Friday were
the most common days of the week for
crashes to occur. All other days of the
week had 11.4% to 15.2% of all crashes.
Tuesday and Saturday were the days with
the highest reported number of fatal and
incapacitating injury crashes.
The distribution of crashes throughout
the day is shown in the graph below.
Crashes were most common between 2
PM to 5 PM, with another peak around
noon. The hour with the highest number
of severe crashes was from 5 PM to 6
PM. Both of these time frames occur
during part of the PM peak hour from 4
PM to 6 PM.

Key Takeaways
Several of the key takeaways from the safety analysis are shown below. These factors were used to
develop safety countermeasures and strategies.
INTERSECTIONS
• Many high crash locations are at intersections throughout
Atlantic Beach with a trend of more crashes at intersectins
with the two state roads. Intersections should be a safety
focus area with the goal of minimizing conflict points and
protecting all users at the intersection.
• Left turn crashes were a top crash type among fatal and
injury crashes, indicating that serious crashes often happen
while vehicles are making left turns.
VULNERABLE ROAD USERS
• VRUs were more likely to be severely hurt or killed if involved
in a crash in Atlantic Beach. VRU crashes often occurred near
intersections on the state roadway network, and were more
concentrated on the east side of Atlantic Beach.
• VRU crashes made up only 5% of overall crashes but 32% of
all severe crashes
LANE DEPARTURE
• 18% of severe injury crashes in Atlantic Beach during the
study time period were lane departure crashes. These types
of crashes may include sideswipe, parked vehicle, and off
road crashes.

Figure 10: Atlantic Beach High Injury Network – Segments
Figure 9: Atlantic Beach High Injury Network – Segments
High Injury Network
A High Injury Network (HIN) identifies roadway segments and intersections with the most crashes that
result in death or injury.
Roadway segments were ranked based on the five-year average crash rate of 100 million vehicle-miles
traveled. Crash rates were calculated for all crashes and for severe crashes (those resulting in a fatality
and/or incapacitating injury). Segments were then ranked according to the severe crash rate with any
ties being broken by the overall crash rate.

Intersections were ranked on the number of crashes weighted by the proportional unit crash cost
relative to property damage only crash. The more severe a crash was, the higher the relative cost. In
addition, public input was considered to include more sites to the priority list that might not have been
reflected in the crash data (i.e. near miss experiences, missing pedestrian/bicyclist infrastructure, etc.)

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
CHAPTER 3
COAB
Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan
32 33
Chapter 3 - Public Engagement
In addition to the historical crash analysis and identification of high injury crash locations, the project
team solicited feedback from the local community. The residents of Atlantic Beach have local knowledge
of areas where they feel they are unsafe walking, biking, or driving, even if there have not been reported
crashes at those locations. Through the identification of areas where community members feel unsafe or
have experienced near-miss incidents, the project team can take a proactive approach and recommend
countermeasures to reduce the risk of crashes happening in the future.
Public engagement for the City of Atlantic Beach Safety Action Plan involved online feedback
opportunities, pop-up events, open houses, and advertisements. Residents, community leaders, and
other stakeholders were actively involved in this effort to ensure that the CSAP reflects the safety
concerns of all who travel in and around Atlantic Beach.
Online Feedback – PublicCoordinate
PublicCoordinate was used throughout the
CSAP’s development, serving as a repository for
the community’s safety concerns. Residents had
multiple opportunities to provide their feedback
on PublicCoordinate throughout the project
whether at a pop-up event, open house, or the
comfort of their own home. The online aspect of
PublicCoordinate allowed residents to voice their
concerns and ideas even if they were not able to
make it to one of the in-person events.
Atlantic Beach residents were able to provide feedback
on existing roadway safety conditions through
PublicCoordinate. PublicCoordinate allowed users
to place a point or a line on an interactive map with
seven comment types available to most appropriately
categorize their comment, such as “Safety Concern”,
“Near Miss Experience”, or “Idea”. Comments were
allowed to be viewed by everyone and were available
throughout the CSAP’s development.
Additionally, a selection of proposed countermeasures presented at the Final Open House were posted
on PublicCoordinate to solicit additional feedback from members of the public who might have not been
able to attend the meeting.
An anonymized summary of the feedback on PublicCoordinate is provided in Appendix B.
Pop-up Events - Farmer’s Market & Family Fun Day
City Staff and the Consultant team tabled a booth at the Farmer’s Market on November 17, 2024
and Family Fun Day on October 19, 2024 to encourage people to submit their safety concerns or
ideas online or in person at the booth. Activities for kids were also provided to bring awareness about
roadway, pedestrian, and bike safety through accessible means. Attendees were asked to share where
they felt unsafe on the transportation network, potential improvement ideas, and to share any thoughts
relating to overall safety on the City’s transportation network.

Task Force Kickoff Meeting
A kickoff meeting was held on October 17, 2024 with
members of the Task Force local to Atlantic Beach. The
members of the Task Force in attendance introduced
themselves and then the project team discussed
SS4A program, including the recently passed Vision
Zero Resolution, components of the CSAP, what type
of improvements would be included in the Plan, and
what the next steps would once the Plan is adopted.
The project team also discussed the Task’s Force role
including providing input and feedback, encouraging
members of the local community to participate through
the Plan’s development, and being an advocate for
safety at the local level. The project team then reviewed
the project schedule and opened up the floor for
members of the Task Force to provide their thoughts.
Task Force members recommended multiple areas for the project team to further analyze in the safety
analysis including areas along Atlantic Boulevard, Dutton Island Road, and Royal Palms Drive. The Task Force
also discussed additional items that were prominent in the community including, e-bike policies, constrained
right-of-way, and developing a city wide speed limit policy. Members of the Task Force also emphasized the
importance of having buy-in from the surrounding Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach communities.
A meeting summary from October 17, 2024 of the Task Force Kickoff is provided in Appendix C-1.
Individual Task Force Meetings
Individual Task Force meetings were set up for members of partner agencies that do not reside in Atlantic
Beach or were not able to attend the original Task Force Kickoff Meeting. The project team met individually
with members of the City of Jacksonville, the Bike Smart Committee, Atlantic Beach Elementary, FDOT
District 2 Safety Office, North Florida TPO, and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority.
Discussions with the individual members yielded more information about current and past projects along
Mayport Road, Atlantic Boulevard, and the five-way intersection.
Individual meeting summaries are provided in Appendix C-2.
Task Force Meeting 2
A second in person meeting with the Task Force was held on March 4, 2025 with members local to
Atlantic Beach. The project team shared updates from the public engagement efforts, safety analysis
findings, and potential countermeasures for several “hot-spot” locations. The Task Force provided input
on the countermeasures in terms of what they thought the local community would support, areas of
concern that were not addressed by the proposed countermeasures, and additional improvements they
felt would help improve safety in the community.
A summary of the meeting from March 4, 2025, Task Force Meeting is provided in Appendix C-3.

Public Input Trends
All input was thoroughly reviewed, resulting in the collection of 163 comments from engagement efforts. Of
these, 50% of all comments were labeled as Safety Concerns, making it the most frequent comment type.
The main trends the project team heard from community members were:
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety
»Several commentors identified areas where they felt unsafe as pedestrians
or bicyclists including crossing Mayport Road and multiple intersections
along Seminole Road
»Residents suggested improvements including pedestrian signals, raised
crosswalks, and separated bike lanes
• Traffic Calming Measures
»Members of the public noted that they witnessed high speeds along many
roads in the city including, Atlantic Boulevard, Sherry Drive, and Seminole
Road
»Residents suggested improvements including speed humps, lowering
speed limits, roundabouts, and improved signage
• Intersection Safety
»Many residents identified intersections with low visibility and areas they felt
unsafe from confusion on who has the right-of-way between motorists and
non-motorists
• Enforcement and Education
»Many comments called for improved enforcement for speeding vehicles
and pedestrian/cyclist rights of way
»Residents proposed education initiatives both for both drivers and cyclists
regarding complying with the law and traveling safely through and around
Atlantic Beach

Chapter 4 - Equity
Equity was considered throughout the CSAP’s development and aimed to identify the locations in
Atlantic Beach that are disproportionately impacted by socio-economic disadvantages or a lack
of historical transportation investment. Equity considerations factor into the development of safety
improvements and the prioritization scoring of projects identified in the CSAP. At the time of the
review, no Atlantic Beach census tracts were identified as Areas of Persistent Poverty (APPs)/
underserved communities.
To identify areas in Atlantic Beach that would be most impacted by safety improvements and
investments, census tract data was reviewed to determine which areas of the City have a higher
concentration of vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, the youth, or low-income households.
The census tract equity assessment relied on data pulled from the US Census and American Community
Survey. The following maps illustrate the concentration of each of the following characteristics in the
census tracts located in Atlantic Beach:
• Aging population
• Youth population
• Percent of families and people below the poverty level

Other Agency Improvements
Improvements listed in this section are already being championed by another agency; however, the
intention of these projects aligns with the City of Atlantic Beach’s Vision Zero goal. It is recommended
that the City continue to coordinate with these agencies to help show support for these projects and
ensure that any future safety improvements or initiatives are cohesive with these projects.
Mayport Road Improvements – FDOT
At the time of publication of this Plan, FDOT is in the process of implementing improvements along
Mayport Road (SR A1A) between Atlantic Boulevard (SR 10) and Dutton Island Road West. The
improvements aim to enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road
users. The proposed improvements currently include repurposing lanes to add a southbound bike lane
and widen the northbound sidewalk. In addition, upgraded signal improvements are proposed as part of
this project.
SR A1A (3rd Street N) Planning and Environmental Services – FDOT
At the time of this publication, FDOT is planning to conduct a Project Development & Environmental
Study for context sensitive/complete streets improvements along SR A1A from SR A1A (Atlantic
Boulevard) to the St. Johns County Line. The study plans to focus on evaluating existing conditions and
determining potential improvements tailored to the SR A1A corridor. The project is listed in the FDOT
Work Program as FPID 430911-2-22-01 and will be advertised for consultant selection in Fall 2025.
Tri-Beach E-Bike Policy – North Florida TPO
At the time of publication of this Plan, the North Florida TPO is working to develop an e-bike policy for
Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Jacksonville Beach. The plan aims to create consistency among
the Beaches Community for rules and regulations regarding e-bikes. Implementing a consistent policy
can help set driver expectations for the behavior of e-bikes and can assist in situations in determining
whether a vehicle or bicyclist has the right-of-way.
Atlantic Beach Roundabout Feasibility Study - North Florida TPO
The North Florida TPO is working with FDOT, the City of Atlantic Beach, and consultants for a feasibility
study and potential design of a roundabout for the five-way intersection of Plaza, Seminole Road, and
Sherry Drive. The project aims to reduce conflict points, improve sight distance, and eliminate driver
confusion. In addition, if a crash were to occur at the intersection it significantly reduces the angle of
collision decreasing the likelihood of injury. At the time of publication of this plan, the project is in the
selection process of a consultant for design and funding is still needed for future construction.

Chapter 6 - Countermeasures
and Projects
The following countermeasures were identified to make the streets and roads in Atlantic Beach safer
and promote safe driving, walking, cycling and safe people based on the crash patterns observed and
community feedback. The following include infrastructure countermeasures designed to make the roads
physically safer with complementary education and enforcement strategies.
Infrastructure Strategies
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are activated by a person at a
crosswalk and rapidly flash alternating lights on the assembly to alert motorists to
a person crossing the road. Atlantic Beach already has multiple RRFBs installed
throughout the city that are regularly used by residents and visitors alike.
Cost:
Raised crosswalks physically elevate people in crosswalks increasing visibility
of the people crossing and acting like a speed hump to motorists to slow speeds.
With the appropriate signage, it alerts drivers to stop for pedestrians in the crossing
walk. Slower speeds and increased driver awareness reduce crash severities for
pedestrians and cyclists.
Cost:
Lighting Improvements may include improvements at the walking level or
additional roadway level lights near crosswalks or intersections. Properly lit
intersections enhance reaction times and can reduce the likelihood of a crash
during low visibility conditions like nighttime. Typically lighting requires a pole to be
installed if one does not exist already.
Cost:
High visibility crosswalk markings use pavement markings, such as ladder
markers that are visible to both drivers and people crossing the roadways from
farther distances. The increased visibility helps drivers be aware of people earlier
and can improve nighttime visibility.
Cost:
Edge lane roadway treatment is a unique solution that utilizes the existing width
of pavement, ideal for low volume, low speed, constrained roads. The edge lane
roadway consists of two parts, delineated edge lanes meant for pedestrians and
other vulnerable road users and a center lane meant for vehicles. Under conditions
with no oncoming traffic the vehicle can remain in the center lane and pedestrians
can continue to walk in their designated areas. If two vehicles need to use the
roadway they will first check the edge lanes for pedestrians or cyclists and yield if
there are any, then slowly pull over to the side, pass each other, and return to the
center lane.
Cost:
Leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) give people walking or biking a three to
seven second “head start” crossing the roadway at a traffic signal. The pedestrian
signal will give a walking signal while all cars remain stopped with a red signal. This
allows pedestrians and cyclists to proceed into the roadway so that they are visible
to vehicles before the vehicles begin their turning movements. A leading pedestrian
internal can also be coupled with a “No Right Turn On Red” sign to minimize potential
conflicts.
Cost:
Signage improvements may include “stop ahead”, “intersection ahead signs”,
or reflective strips on stop signs warning drivers of an upcoming stop and alerting
them to the potential of other drivers crossing the roadway. Signing should comply
with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and local standards.
Cost:
Roundabouts are a type of intersection typically circular in nature where traffic
flows in one direction. The flow of traffic around a central point minimizes conflict
points and acts as a traffic calming device by reducing vehicle speeds. This
configuration is advantageous for vulnerable road users as reduced speeds mean
that if a crash were to occur the likelihood of getting severely injured decreases.
Pedestrian conflict points with vehicles are also minimized.
Cost:
COAB
Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan
56 57
Access Management relates to the design, location, and spacing of driveways
and intersections along a roadway. With strategic access management, a
municipality can reduce the number of conflict points for all roadway users.
Cost:
Protected left turn phasing gives left-turning vehicles a dedicated phase and
removes the need for drivers to judge gaps in opposing traffic flow by minimizing
driver error. Left-turn phasing can also be implemented by time-of-day when traffic
flow is particularly heavy and might not allow for sufficient gaps.
Cost:
Lane delineation creates a visual cue for drivers to stay in their lane, reducing
the likelihood of drivers leaving their lanes unintentionally. In additional lane
delineation at intersections described as “awkward” or “confusing” can help
minimize driver confusion.
Cost:
Non-Infrastructure Strategies
Develop a crosswalk policy that outlines the criteria for installing a crosswalk and guidance for what type
of crosswalk should be installed. Factors considered can include, but are not limited to posted speed
limit, history of pedestrian or bike crashes, proximity to schools, proximity to parks, traffic control (stop
sign, signal, free-flow, etc.). The Institute of Transportation Engineers, FHWA, and the MUTCD all provide
guidance that should be referenced when developing the crosswalk policy.
Enhance school zones with additional safety improvements such as updated signage
and enhanced crossings.
Increase high visibility patrol and enforcement to create a proactive strategy that
discourages speeding, aggressive driving, and encourages non-motorist compliance to
follow appliable rules and regulations.
Bicycle helmet campaigns encourage cyclists to wear helmets which can reduce
injuries from crashes and falls. These can include helmet giveaway programs, helmet
fittings, and educational programming on helmets for both parents and children.
Traffic gardens in schools can help educate children on the rules of the road from
a young age and can help increase compliance and safety awareness. Traffic gardens
can be easily set up using cones or tape to mark off pretend roadways, intersections, or
roundabouts.
Improved training on active transportation related laws and policies for law
enforcement officers can improve effective enforcement, especially with the proposed
Tri-Beach E-Bike Policy in development.
Expand the traffic calming policy to include specific examples of traffic calming that
also have safety benefits may help residents understand what their options for traffic
calming are beyond speed humps.
Update the speed limit policy to further clarify the speed limit on roads where the
speed limit is not posted in addition to bringing consistency to the east and west sides
of Atlantic Beach.
Update the Comprehensive Plan to include policies on the following:
• A Complete Streets Policy can help promote a multi-modal approach to street
design and can help incorporate complete street aspects into other projects such as
resurfacings.
• Maintenance of Facilities Policies can help outline when and how to maintain
bicycle and pedestrian facilities through regular cleaning and pavement surface
maintenance.
• A Mapping Policy would help with inventory management of pedestrian and bicycle
facilities maintained by Atlantic Beach, this can help future evaluations of network
connectivity and maintenance.
• Regional Collaboration Policies can help coordination with other adjacent
jurisdictions regarding bicycle and pedestrian facilities ensuring connectivity and
consistency between the adjacent jurisdictions.
• A Safety Policy encourages safe practices and safe access to facilities.
• A Trails Policy includes provisions to expand the existing trails network within
Atlantic Beach.

9 Installation of a roundabout
The intersection of Plaza, Seminole Road and Sherry Drive was an intersection that not only stood out
during the safety analysis (identified in the high injury network) but was also a frequent topic when talking
to residents of Atlantic Beach. The project team knew there was an ongoing roundabout feasibility
study underway but knew that it would also require a significant effort and time regarding design and
construction. Therefore, the project team came up with interim improvements that could be made at
a lower cost and faster time frame to enhance safety. Lane delineation was selected to help clear up
drive confusion and make the intersection appear smaller without restricting emergency vehicle access.
Relocating the eastbound stop bar on Plaza would increase the sight distance for vehicles traveling
east on Plaza and help other approaches see traffic coming from that direction. In addition, vegetation
trimming on the northwest corner would increase visibility at the intersection for all approaches.
The project team recommends the installation of a roundabout to maximize the safety benefit of this
intersection as a long-term improvement.

9 Evaluate Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon at relocated crosswalk on Seminole Road at Country
Club and East Cost Drive
The intersection of Seminole Road and Country Club Lane/East Coast Drive forms an awkward and
confusing intersection geometry for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. Lane delineation was selected
to help clear up driver confusion and make the intersection appear smaller with better delineation for
all road users. Adding dotted lane lines along Seminole Road through the intersection helps drivers
remain in their lane and breaks up the large area of pavement. Relocating the northbound/southbound
crosswalk on the east side of Seminole Road to cross in front of the stop approach for East Coast Drive
shortens the crossing distance and exposure to vehicular traffic. This new crosswalk will connect to the
existing sidewalk along East Coast Drive and Seminole Road on the east. Evaluating the relocation of
the crosswalk on Seminole Road at 15th Street or addition of a crosswalk on Seminole Road at Country
Club Lane will help determine the best was to serve pedestrians in this area. It was noted during field
reviews that several pedestrians crossed Seminole Road at Country Club Lane and did not walk one
block south to 15th Street. The crosswalk crossing Seminole Road could potentially be a Rectangular
Rapid Flashing Beacon crossing if warranted.

During the field review of the priority locations, the team noticed that there were sidewalk gaps along
Dutton Island Road. While completing the gaps would be ideal, there is limited right-of-way, and that
limited right-of-way is maintained by two different jurisdictions. The team quickly identified this location
in front of Donner Park as an area for immediate improvement. The sidewalk at this location ended on
the north side of the road and began again on the south side of the road, to add a crosswalk here would
be a safety enhancement. The project team identified additional safety features that could enhance the
type of crosswalk depending on coordination with City of Jacksonville, design, and funding.

9 Raised crosswalk
The intersection of Plaza and Royal Palms Drive has an existing RRFB on the east leg of the
intersection. The installation of high emphasis crosswalks would enhance the crosswalk visibility in
addition to updated signage and pavement markings that accompany RRFBs. As an additional safety
enhancement, an actuated blank-out sign which is pushbutton activated and only illuminates when a
pedestrian is crossing can be added below the STOP sign on Royal Palms Drive. The message would
illuminate No Right Turn. A final safety improvement would be the installation of a raised crosswalk. A
raised crosswalk elevates the crosswalk to sidewalk level, improving visibility for both pedestrians and
drivers, and often leads to reduced speeds and increased yielding.

The existing intersection of Plaza and Parkside Drive features a unique configuration due to the
crosswalk bisecting the intersection with no pedestrian refuge. By moving the crosswalk and RRFB to
the east side of the intersection, pedestrians experience less exposure to traffic with a shorter crossing
and traffic experiences a shorter delay. As an additional safety enhancement, an actuated blank-out
sign which is pushbutton activated and only illuminates when a pedestrian is crossing can be added
below the STOP sign on Parkside Drive. The message would illuminate No Left Turn. A final safety
improvement would be the installation of a raised crosswalk crossing Plaza. A raised crosswalk elevates
the crosswalk above roadway level, improving visibility for both pedestrians and drivers, and often leads
to reduced speeds and increased yielding.

11th Street, from Linkside Drive/Parkside Drive to Seminole Road
Countermeasures
9 Edge lane roadway treatment
The project team learned from the community that 11th Street is frequently used by pedestrians and
cyclists heading to and from the beach, and by motorists looking to bypass the busy five-way intersection.
Due to space constraints from a canal and a lift station, the team decided to explore an innovative solution
often seen in Europe and increasingly adopted in the United States: the edge lane roadway.
An edge lane roadway is a type of roadway designed to accommodate both cars and vulnerable road
users. Here’s how it works:
1. Single Center Lane: The roadway features a single center lane that traffic in both directions share.
2. Edge Lanes: On either side of the center lane, there are edge lanes, which can be used by
cyclists and pedestrians. These lanes are not full travel lanes but rather a designated space for
non-motorized users.
3. Yielding: When motor vehicles need to pass each other, they temporarily move into the
edge lanes, giving priority to any cyclists or pedestrians present. Drivers must yield to non-
motorized users.
This design encourages slower vehicle speeds and promotes safer usage for all types of road users by
making drivers more aware of their presence.

Chapter 7 - Project Scoring
and Prioritization
The prioritization approach was developed by the project team to establish a scoring system by which
the recommended countermeasures could be prioritized for implementation. It is understood that not
all projects can be implemented therefore, the intent of the prioritization is to allow decision makers a
“menu” of safety improvement options. Four categories were used to assess the countermeasures:
Safety, Equity, Public Feedback, and Connectivity. Each category has subcategories that are allotted a
specific number of points to a countermeasure if it met the criteria of that sub-category. The more points
a countermeasure received, the higher it was placed on the prioritization list. Table 5 below indicated
the scoring criteria that were applied to each countermeasure.
Category Sub-Category Measure Points

Project Tiers
The countermeasures developed were separated into three tiers based on how quickly they could be
implemented and how much they would cost. The project tiers were short-term, medium-term, and
long-term. In the following project lists, those identified as short-term projects are in BLUE, medium-
term projects are in YELLOW, and long-term projects are in GREEN.
Projects in the short-term tier could be implemented almost immediately and supported with existing
funding. An example of a short-term project would be installing high-visibility crosswalks, which can be
done by City staff with existing supplies. Short-term projects could also be integrated into ongoing or
planned resurfacing projects.
Projects in the medium-term tier could be implemented within 6-18 months, but may require new
budget line items and may require the acquisition of certain approvals and/or materials. An example of a
medium-term project would be adding a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at an existing or
new pedestrian crosswalk location.
Projects in the long-term category would require larger funding allocations and may require additional
planning, design, and public engagement. Most long-term projects would involve significant
infrastructure improvements such as the design and construction of a roundabout.
Table 6 and Table 7 summarize the Segment Project prioritization and Intersection Project prioritization,
respectively. The list of projects include countermeasures developed to address crash patterns as well
as projects recommended by the Task Force and the community via the public engagement efforts. A
breakdown of the prioritization scoring for each project is provided in Appendix E.
Table 5: Project Scoring and Prioritization
Since corridor projects such as sidewalks, system wide signal timing improvements, and lane delineation
cover a larger geographical area than ‘Point Projects’, they were found to be disproportionately
represented in the Safety criteria scoring of the project prioritization process outline in Table 5, so
prioritization for the two project types are summarized separately. Point projects can also apply to
locations along segments if intersections along a segment were identified for safety improvements.
COORIDOR PROJECTS
Projects that apply along a certain
length such as lane delineation,
sidewalk connections, or system wide
timing improvements.
i POINT PROJECTS
Projects that apply specifically at
one location such as high emphasis
crosswalk markings, or reflective strips
on stop signs.

Chapter 8 - Annual Reporting and
Transparency
The City of Atlantic Beach has committed to improving its transportation network with the goal of
eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes via the Vision Zero Resolution adopted in 2024. This
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan outlines actionable steps that help navigate towards that goal, but
the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan is only one component and is only as effective as it is utilized.
Consistent with the requirements of the federal SS4A program, the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
will be posted publicly, and progress towards the goals outlined in this document will be monitored
annually to document the safety outcomes in Atlantic Beach.
Transparency
The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will be posted on the City of Atlantic Beach website for
public consumption and transparency. The website should be updated with information regarding
projects identified from the CSAP that are funded, planned, in design, under construction, or have
been completed.
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Updates
The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan should be a ‘living document’ that reflects the safety and needs
of the City’s transportation network as the City continually strives towards Vision Zero. The City of
Atlantic Beach intends to apply for additional funding from the SS4A for one or more of the priority safety
countermeasures identified in Chapter 6.
Crash Analysis Updates
The University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics website will be the primary data source for crash data
utilized in the City of Atlantic Beach’s Annual Monitoring Report. At the time of publication of this plan,
Signal Four Analytics provides crash data for the State of Florida in compliance with State regulations
regarding the publishing of crash data. The City of Atlantic Beach will utilize Signal Four Analytics to
obtain future year crash data as it becomes available for the Annual Monitoring Report.
Annual Monitoring Report
An Annual Monitoring Report will be prepared each year once crash data from the previous year is
finalized in the Signal Four Analytics database. Crash data is available is available in Signal Four within
approximately eight (8) weeks of the time of the crash, so it is recommended that the Annual Monitoring
Report be completed in March of each year. A draft Annual Monitoring Report is provided on the next
page which will be posted publicly alongside the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan once completed
each year.

Implement a shared use/passive recreation trail between Dutton Island and Tide Views Preserves. This concept is
explored in several COAB documents and, if fully realized, would increase bike/pedestrian/passive recreation safety
by separating people from traffic on Main St. which is currently the only north-south connection between the
preserves. This could be accomplished using any combination of COAB right-of-ways, JEA right-of-ways, trail
construction along marsh edge (collaboration with N.FL Land Trust, Beaches Memorial Park, and stakeholders),
small "footbridge" construction over tidal-creeks to fully connect lower-traffic streets west of Main St. (e.g. Jasmine
St., Camelia St., etc.). An elevated trail has the potential to also provide reduction of flooding/storm surge impacts to
marsh-side properties.
Accessibility Concern Priority Intersections and Segments
11th Street from Parkside Drive/Selva Linkside to Seminole Road is in desperate need on pedestrian/biking sidewalk
or path. Narrow road with close ditches on either side. Drivers use as a cut-through to avoid the 5 way stop.
Speeding and aggressive driving frequently forces pedestrians, dog walkers and baby strollers off the edge of the
road into the drainage ditches on either side. The is the northernmost connection from west to east that allows
access to the beach. Between that and the high number of speeders who use it to avoid the 5 way stop this short
section of road is very hazardous. Add sidewalk/bike path to either side, or designate as one way westbound only
and convert eastbound lane into mixed use path.

Accessibility Concern Priority Intersections and Segments
My young daughter and I were nearly hit by a speeding car right here who was coming off of Seminole and making a
left on Selva Marina Drive. I motioned to the older driver to slow down as my daughter was pedaling away behind
me and he motioned back rudely to me like *we* should get out of the way. We were in the crosswalk! We need a
full education and awareness campaign for drivers - that pedestrians and bikers (esp. kids!) have a right to be here
too. We cannot keep having the cars trump the people.
Accessibility Concern Public Input
Adding a fence here on the edge of asphalt of the school drive/parking lot and a sidewalk behind it would be great.
This way pedestrians and cyclists can consistently use this sidewalk to get to the beach without going on school
grounds and the school could keep the gates locked as much as they like. Bonus if there is room to make it useable
for golf carts also.

The City should have a public safety initiative educating bicyclists and E-Bikes on the laws for that form of
transportation. They are considered a motor vehicle and must follow the appropriate laws. If there is an age limit for
E-Bikes then it needs to be better enforced. As children often think they are invincible and treat life accordingly, we
should focus on safety overall in our community. Especially protecting and educating our children or their parents on
the laws required to operate E-Bikes. Bicyclists should also be educated on the laws they must follow in our
community. You don’t know what you don’t know.

All stop signs should be visible. Many times the road names and cars are being blocked by vegetation and the
drivers are stopping past the stop bar in order to cross. This is a safety issue for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Vegetation needs to be cut or the stop signs should be moved closer to the intersections. The road names should
also be visible and not covered by vegetation. This would help drivers who aren't familiar with the area as well. This
comment isn't only for this area, but many areas in the city. East coast had several stop signs/road names covered.

There are streets with limited visibility for pedestrians and vehicles. Fifth Street is certainly A problem and about a
half dozen residents have voiced this concern: heading westbound on Fifth the 7 foot tall hedge makes it impossible
to see kids cycling from school or Northbound automobiles that pick up the pace there just after the school zone. A
number of neighbors have discussed their close calls on that corner. To get a clear view, you basically have to stop
and block the crosswalk. PHOTO ATTACHED. The unusual partial trimming of the hedge is probably the work of
irritated neighbors. The property owner, Trish, can be difficult At times but may be amenable if approached from a
safety standpoint, especially as it relates to cats and other animals. Critters do frequently cross the road there for the
drainage ditch path into Howell Park. She's lost two cats within 10 yards of that intersection.

Several instances of cars (turning northbound from Plaza) not yielding to bikes/pedestrians when the pedestrian
cross-walk light signals pedestrians have the right-of-way. I've seen this occur to other cyclists and experienced it
myself when biking with my family when: 1. Crossing Mayport Rd. eastbound and cars turning left from West Plaza
onto Mayport Rd (northbound) do not yield. 2. Crossing Mayport Rd. westbound and cars turning right from Plaza
onto Mayport Rd. (northbound) do not yield, This instance is so common that when we cross Mayport Rd. from east
to west, we use the south cross-walk. Drivers turning right onto Mayport Rd. (northbound) are watching approaching
traffic from the south and are generally not looking at the cross-walk signal nor at any pedestrians/cyclists crossing.

Between County Club / entrance to ABCC, Since completion of abcc development of 178 new homes, and County
Club with 1000 plus families that are members the bike and pedestrian traffic has increased on Selva Marina Drive.
Many children and families transit this road to games, activities, and green market at Jack Russell Park as well as
biking to AB elementary school. Selva Maria is very wide leading to high speed. There are certain homes that park
cars on Selva Marina 24/7, bikes and walkers have to swerve around these parked cars, while there is a dangerous
drop off to the inside lane of the median from so many cars parking in the medial to avoid parked cars. The median
should be poured with a mountable curb, dirt and sod to fill in to make level with road, possible a bike travel lane or a
multi use path in the middle median . Their should be no overnight parking on Selva Marina, far too high traffic and
bike / pedestrian for this. These lots are very large, large long driveways. Of the entire street there are only 1 or 2
homes that parks cars on the street 24/7, should not be a large change for the neighborhood.

Cars/trucks that far exceed the length of the intended spaces, park in the spaces for the Palms Motel that are along
Sherry Drive. This makes it impossible for those traveling East on Sturdivant turning North onto Sherry to safely
make the turn. One has to ease so far out into traffic to see if anyone is traveling North on Sherry from Atlantic that
there is a hazard of being hit by a car traveling South toward Atlantic. I have called the city several times to ask for
either a mirror to be placed across Sherry for those on Sturdivant to see if a car is coming North or some kind of
enforcement where cars that exceed the length of the parking spaces are cited and/or towed. I have yet to receive

eyesore to the neighborhood of AB but there are nefarious activities happening all the time. This should be a top
priority before something happens to someone. The access is over grown, falling apart and hidden from view. The
18th street access is being redone. 16th Street is so much worse. Beach-goers who park at Waters Park and
surrounding residents have the right to a safe beach access. The city should close it down if it’s going to take another
7 years to address.

The speed limit on Mayport Road between Atlantic Blvd and Dutton Island Road is too fast. It is dangerous for
pedestrians. Citizens are scared to walk their children and animals on the sidewalks. Our community would be a
safer more enjoyable environment if the speed limit were lowered. This would improve home values around the
community. What are the benefits to having a higher speed limits? Who are we catering to by having a higher speed
limit? People naturally go 5-10 mph over posted speed limits. This holds very true in Mayport road. Please drop the
speed limit on Mayport road so that our community is safer and I can ride bikes with my child to the beach. The
speed limit drops to 30 mph on the Neptune Beach side of Atlantic Blvd. The speed limit is also lower on 3rd street in
Jax Beach. Let’s follow suit and improve our area by lowering the speed limit. Mayport road is an improving area.
New residents that are investing in their properties and the community want to make this a long term residence. A
dangerous corridor that connects their homes to the beach is a major concern for citizens looking to build a family in
this area.

Implement a shared use/passive recreation trail between Dutton Island and Tide Views Preserves. This concept is
explored in several COAB documents and, if fully realized, would increase bike/pedestrian/passive recreation safety
by separating people from traffic on Main St. which is currently the only north-south connection between the
preserves. This could be accomplished using any combination of COAB right-of-ways, JEA right-of-ways, trail
construction along marsh edge (collaboration with N.FL Land Trust, Beaches Memorial Park, and stakeholders),
small "footbridge" construction over tidal-creeks to fully connect lower-traffic streets west of Main St. (e.g. Jasmine

My young daughter and I were nearly hit by a speeding car right here who was coming off of Seminole and making a

me and he motioned back rudely to me like *we* should get out of the way. We were in the crosswalk! We need a

Adding a fence here on the edge of asphalt of the school drive/parking lot and a sidewalk behind it would be great.
This way pedestrians and cyclists can consistently use this sidewalk to get to the beach without going on school

My young daughter and I were nearly hit by a speeding car right here who was coming off of Seminole and making a

me and he motioned back rudely to me like *we* should get out of the way. We were in the crosswalk! We need a

Adding a fence here on the edge of asphalt of the school drive/parking lot and a sidewalk behind it would be great.
This way pedestrians and cyclists can consistently use this sidewalk to get to the beach without going on school

There should not be a U-Turn option at this light. It only backs up traffic turning left and puts all drivers at risk for an
accident. Find a better solution. There is always heavy traffic at peak traffic times and driver’s turning left on Mayport
road do not stop for U-Turn drivers.
General Comment Public Input 30.3524658967719 -81.4184293468489
There should not be a U-turn option at this light. It creates heavy traffic in all directions during peak traffic hours.
Driver turning left onto Mayport Road do not stop for U-Turn drivers. Creating an opportunity for traffic accidents.
General Comment Public Input 30.3561032377995 -81.4134268830123
The City should have a public safety initiative educating bicyclists and E-Bikes on the laws for that form of
transportation. They are considered a motor vehicle and must follow the appropriate laws. If there is an age limit for
E-Bikes then it needs to be better enforced. As children often think they are invincible and treat life accordingly, we
should focus on safety overall in our community. Especially protecting and educating our children or their parents on
the laws required to operate E-Bikes. Bicyclists should also be educated on the laws they must follow in our
community. You don’t know what you don’t know.
General Comment Public Input 30.3319175692744 -81.4043081723368
Several turning lanes on Mayport Road are mostly for U-turns, and cars making the U-turn will swing wide right to
navigate the U-turn while going into the lane of travel next to them. Several times, I've had to stop or narrowly miss
a car over the line in the turning lane if I couldn't move over.
General Comment Public Input 30.3374615137263 -81.4140052541353
All stop signs should be visible. Many times the road names and cars are being blocked by vegetation and the
drivers are stopping past the stop bar in order to cross. This is a safety issue for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Vegetation needs to be cut or the stop signs should be moved closer to the intersections. The road names should
also be visible and not covered by vegetation. This would help drivers who aren't familiar with the area as well. This
comment isn't only for this area, but many areas in the city. East coast had several stop signs/road names covered.

Use this empty field for a more specific purpose. Either to expand the playground equipment or make a larger dog
park. Right now this is an informally used soccer field for pickup games, but with contiguous fencing around the
perimeter and better parking options this could greatly benefit the residents in this area.
Idea Priority Intersections and Segments 30.333820662818 -81.4173657757072
Improve lighting and general visibility of bikers/pedestrians waiting to cross Mayport Road. This comment applies to
all corners of the intersection; especially the southeast corner.Idea Priority Intersections and Segments 30.3329061184352 -81.4156585940218
On Dutton Island Rd. W: 1. Widen sidewalk 2. Create shared-use path 3. provide traffic-calming measures 4.
separate sidewalk/path from traffic with vegetation or other aesthetic measures (i.e. not additional concrete)
Idea Priority Intersections and Segments 30.3405441071821 -81.4148416211316
Implement a shared use/passive recreation trail between Dutton Island and Tide Views Preserves. This concept is
explored in several COAB documents and, if fully realized, would increase bike/pedestrian/passive recreation safety
by separating people from traffic on Main St. which is currently the only north-south connection between the
preserves. This could be accomplished using any combination of COAB right-of-ways, JEA right-of-ways, trail
construction along marsh edge (collaboration with N.FL Land Trust and stakeholders), small "footbridge" construction
over tidal-creeks to fully connect lower-traffic streets west of Main St. (e.g. Jasmine St., Camelia St., etc.).
Idea Priority Intersections and Segments 30.3370891462241 -81.4259447444814
Improve drivers' ability to know when pedestrians have the right-of-way. For instance, improve visibility of pedestrian
cross-walk signals, especially for east/west crosswalks across Mayport Rd.Idea Priority Intersections and Segments 30.3331358012103 -81.4160573266474
Works with FDOT to get pedestrian connection to sidewalk from Tideviews Park to FDOT sidewalk.Idea Public Input 30.3246038907836 -81.4238411821319
School zone is too long. People get frustrated and end up speeding and driving aggressively. School secondary
entrance to the rear of the school is so long school zone is not necessary.Idea Public Input 30.3266137262397 -81.4051404905629
Can we add one of the wider U turns on the southbound west curb side of Mayport Rd at the first uturn after the
flyover so people don't have to hit their vehicles on the curb and slow down traffic? The ones at the other end of
Mayport work really well.
Idea Public Input 30.3310628377279 -81.4168730921523
Add a southbound bike lane to Beach Ave so bikes can safely (and legally) travel South.Idea Public Input 30.3453205783024 -81.3977442992663
Consider ways to alert drivers coming out of Mayport Rd parking lots/businesses of bikes/peds using sidewalks in
both directions, especially on east side of Mayport Rd.Idea Public Input 30.3553767048605 -81.4135470863655
3 way stop on Rose St. by the dog park. Also speed bumps similar to Main St.Idea Public Input 30.3338204698942 -81.4184493830521
Look at parking and walking paths to Dutton Island Preserve (+enforcement).Idea Public Input 30.338369214208 -81.4315685047815
Separate bikes/pedestrians from traffic with a bike/ped trail. Could be a marsh trail connecting Tideview and Dutton
Island.Idea Public Input 30.3269600628908 -81.4254548763875

Task Force Individual Meetings
Thom Underwood – Bike Smart Committee
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
· Noted that it’s difficult to cross Mayport and Atlantic and would avoid crossing unless
necessary
· Noted that some ped crossing buttons are not accessible for those on bikes or forces
them to travel outside of cars line of sight
o i.e. blocked by vegetation or other roadside items
· Where possible he uses the sidewalk especially along Seminole where the sidewalk is
better
· Notes that segment L-1 (Atlantic Blvd) might not have much to improve and effort would
be better spent elsewhere
· Said main issue with 5-Points is drivers not being patient/having limited site distance due
to vegetation
· If improvements were made to bike lanes, he’d prefer a separated or protected bike lane
· Liked the concept of leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) to increase pedestrian/bike
visibility
· Brought up several intersection issues
o Atlantic and Seminole
§ SBR drivers do not yield to peds because they can’t see them
o Atlantic and Royal Palm
§ No sidewalk on NW corner along Royal Palm
§ Cars don’t yield to pedestrians
o Atlantic and 3rd Street
§ Cars don’t yield to pedestrians
o Mayport and Plaza
§ Visibility issues where pole blocks pedestrians on NE corner
o Mayport and Atlantic

I.Introductions
II.Discussion Items
§Countermeasures at Priority Local Locations
o Plaza/Seminole/Sherry
·Skip lines would be helpful
·Stop bars for pedestrians vs stop bars for the intersection
o Plaza/Parkside
·Parked cars along Plaza during big events, makes it harder for pedestrians to
cross Plaza
·Move the crosswalk so that it’s not in the middle of the intersection
·Would be amendable to raised crosswalks as both safety improvement and
traffic calming
·Strive for standardization of crosswalks around Atlantic Beach
o Plaza/Sailfish (East)
·Relocate eastbound stop bar to increase visibility
·Additional accessibility concerns about sidewalks
o Plaza/Royal Palms
