Fort Walton Beach Resolution — 2025-11 Approving FDOT Traffic Improvements on Beal Parkway — reading text

right-angle collisions were “ Good Samaritan” crashes. Detailed crash diagrams may be found in the study appendix. Table 3 depicts the results of a statistical analysis of crash rates at similar roadway facilities in District 3 over the last five (5) years. The subject crash rates are based on crashes per estimated million vehicles entering the State System by intersection type. In the last five (5) years, the number of reported crashes at State Road 189 (Beal Parkway) and First Street was greater than the statistical average of similar roadway facilities in District 3. TABLE 3 FDOT District 3 Crash Statistics Analysis Vehicles per Day Entering Intersection = 15,337 Million Vehicles per Year Entering Intersection = 5.598 Statistical Crash Rate per Million Vehicles = 0.511 Reported Crashes in Last Five (5) Years = 35 Anticipated Number of Crashes per Year = 2.86 00Actual Number of Reported Crashes per Year = 7.

Two of the four 15-minute delay samples were taken during the peak hours. These delays and computed average delays are shown in Table 4. Results from the delay analysis indicate that no excessive delay is being experienced at this time.

The vehicular turning movements were collected from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Of these ten (10) hours, 8:15 – 9:15 AM was determined to be the morning peak hour; and 3:15 – 4:15 PM was determined to be the evening peak hour. Table 5 denotes the hourly breakdown of traffic volumes at State Road 189 (Beal Parkway) and First Street.

Individual Warrants that were performed for this location may be found in the study appendix. MUTCD Warrant 1B ( 80% Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume), Warrant 2 ( Four- Hour Vehicular Volume) and Warrant 7 (Crash Experience) was met with 100% right-turns added due to intersection geometry.
