Traffic counts were done for each roadway on the county' s network. <br /> These counts were then converted to peak hour\peak season\peak direction volumes for each <br /> roadway link using the FDOT default tables. These tables volumes can be found in Appendix A <br /> and are based on the latest edition of Florida's Qualit \ Level of Service <br /> Handbook, 4999 2002 . Each roadway link and its corresponding capacity were then compared to <br /> determine the existing level of service for the roadway. Table 4 .7 . 1 shows the existing level of <br /> service for each roadway on the network. As indicated in that table, there are no existing <br /> deficiencies on the county' s traffic circulation system. <br /> • Crash Data <br /> Crash data (using 2001 data) are included in Table 4. 2 . In 2001 , the intersection of SR 60 & 66ffi <br /> Ave . had more accidents than any other intersection in the county, with 20 accidents recorded. <br /> Intersections with the highest accident rates (MEV — accidents per million entering vehicles) <br /> were 41st Street & Old Dixie, 49th Street & Old Dixie, and 69 h Street & Old Dixie . <br /> For planning purposes, crash rates are more important than the gross number of crashes. Even <br /> where the number of crashes may seem high, the rate may be low if the roadway or intersection <br /> volume is high. Overall, crash rates provide an indication of which roadways or intersections <br /> require detailed safety analyses. <br /> Table 4.2 Crash Data <br /> ADT ADT Accident Rate Relative <br /> Intersection # of Accidents (MEV) Rate <br /> E!W N/S <br /> SR 60 & 66th Avenue 20 32080 3493 1 .54 Low <br /> SR 60 & 58th Avenue Is 29233 16172 1 .09 Low <br /> SR 60 (Tarpon) & IR.
