NW 53rd and NW 34th intersection traffic flow would be greatly improved if it were converted to a roundabout. In fact, most of the stoplights along 34th would benefit from this, but this intersection is the closest to my neighborhood and the amount of daily traffic that is backed up during rush hour every day is immense, not to mention the signal pattern here does not seem very intuitive to keep traffic flowing at a consistent rate.

Pedestrian crossing cars don't stop for the children crossing the main highway 441. No flashing lights when school is out. No, School Zone signs overhead nor lights. No reduce speed. Nothing.
-
Cars drive so FAST along this stretch of Main St between 10 and 16th Ave. Very dangerous for the many cyclists and pedestrians trying to cross the road.
-
2nd Ave W from downtown to campus has buses pulling in out of bike lane, cars parked in turning lane in middle of road, and many cars traveling faster than the speed limit.
-
Only about 50% of the cars will stop at the flashing light to cross, and almost 100% of the vehicles (including most police vehicles) are traveling in excess of the posted speed limit.
-
I see cars running red lights on University Avenue at this intersection almost every day, and most vehicles are traveling in excess of the posted speed limit.

There's always massive potholes on NW 3rd St as you approach University, big enough to send a cyclist or motorcyclist flying. Someone's going to get killed one day. If they're ever filled, they're not filled well and reappear shortly after.
-
There needs to be some kind of pedestrian crossing on Main St. between NE 8th Ave and W University Ave. There currently is not, so to get to a building right across the street (including the Supervisor of Elections Office!), people have to walk all the way down the street and back up. Bikes are fast enough to cross like a car would, but I've seen pedestrians walk across, and it's incredibly dangerous because of how fast people go on that stretch of road.

Traffic moving southbound on NW 1st Street & stopped at NW 2nd Avenue, cannot see oncoming traffic (in either direction East or West), be that motor vehicle traffic or bicycle traffic, due to cars parked in parking slots, which obstruct the drivers view.
The driver must proceed forward onto NW 2nd Avenue, past the parked vehicles to see.
This is an unsafe and accident-prone area.
Solution: remove the parking area adjacent to the sidewalks on NW 2nd Avenue. -
Needs a bike lane separated from traffic because of the hill and high sapped with no alternative route to campus for many students living past here. Been yelled at by drivers in the past.
-
unsafe and confusing intersection for walkers and bikers.
-
Side walk here has no shade, which discourages walking to and from shopping centers off 43rd.
-
This merge is quite hazardous depending on weather conditions, in extreme fog it can be very dangerous and difficult to see when oncoming traffic from 13th street is coming.
-
83rd is a mess and it’s not clear if it’s going to get resurfaced. There needs to be crosswalks at least two place to assist my students walking to and from Santa Fe The bust stops are unsafe and need coverage.
-
You cannot always see the pedestrians or cyclists on the south side of this roundabout, because of the change in the elevation in the road, and they come out from behind the foliage on the west side and you can't see them as you come around the roundabout if they're coming from the east side
-
Please add a sidewalk on north side of SW 35th Place in places where it is currently missing.
-
This is another road I often see people walking on that feels unsafe due to traffic speeds and very narrow shoulders.
-
I always wish we had walk/bike paths that were usable on this road. A lot of accidents happen because drivers already think they are at the raceway - some speed deterrents may save lives.
-
This intersection is dangerous. Drivers often don't slow or yield as they are supposed to and the visibility is poor because of shrubbery. Very unsafe for drivers and pedestrians alike.
-
This stretch of 27 has a legacy speed limit that reflects a past of much lower vehicular traffic. With the number of residential communities and small businesses here now, these highway speeds create a very perilous situation for drivers going both into and out of High Springs.
-
60mph, no one yields to cyclists in this fork, there are no extra lines or signs. Someone will 100% be killed here

Too much traffic. Very difficult to turn off left of 78th onto 241. Probably need red light. Also the oak trees planted outside of the fence on large farm need to be trimmed up. Those trees impede vision.
-
Many serious accidents at this intersection. For some reason our caution light was recently removed???? Why?? May need a stop sign. Trees need trimming up consistently as well.
