South Florida Safe Roads Task Force Initiative

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — The South Florida Safe Roads Task Force is kicking off a week-long initiative Monday in an effort to save lives. Florida leads the country in bike deaths and is ranked among the worst in pedestrians killed. In recent years, several pedestrians and cyclists have been killed along State Road A1A. State law makers and law enforcement are working to curb that deadly trend.

As drivers, bicyclist and pedestrians travel along State Road A1A they will notice lighted signs erected to share tips on how to safely navigate the road. Florida Highway Patrol along with several law enforcement agencies will be patrolling State Road A1A from Fort Lauderdale to Jupiter. Florida State Representative Irv Slosberg is behind this initiative. His daughter, Dori, was killed in a car crash on a state highway in 1996.

Florida leads the country in bicyclists killed on our roads. Let’s help out and try to make a difference. Please be safe and be very aware of pedestrians and bicyclists when driving on our roads. Your AWARENESS can save lives!!!

Our Florida bicyclists also need to obey the rules of the road. Please be careful and AWARE when approaching red lights, stop signs and other dangerous areas on our roads. Pedestrians – please cross at the crosswalks and wait for the little person walking on the sign.

If all of our drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians just took the time to be careful and AWARE, there would be a lot less accidents and injuries.

If you or anyone you know has been injured in an auto accident due to the negligence of another, please reach out to us. You are more than welcome to schedule a free consultation with us, and if you can’t make it to us, we will come to you.
