Stock Development at Livingston and Veterans Memorial Roads
Dear Ms. Fiala,
The intersection bordering the proposed development is very unique. It is because Veterans Memorial Road doesn’t go anywhere east or west to other dissipating roads. Both ends are dead
ends.Therefore all traffic onto or off of Veterans will go either North or South on Livingston alone for at least 2+ miles each way before this traffic is dissipated to an east or west
road. Veterans Memorial will not absorb traffic or bring it elsewhere. Veterans Memorial may be completed to the West in years or decades in the future. All of the new traffic from
the high density development will be added to Livingston - an already congested road.
We should all be concerned regarding the significant increase in accidents that will occur at the left turn lane to go west on to Veterans Memorial from the drivers coming North on
Livingston such as the parents dropping off students. There are many other U turns along Livingston which will be affected also. Few drivers know that the Florida law states - “after
a driver makes a left hand turn the driver must be in the far left hand lane in that road going in the opposite direction”. This of course is the “fast lane” of the new direction traffic
flow. This intersection already causes risks by observing the present skid marks in both directions.
There are many other left hand turn lanes on this 4 mile stretch between Bonita Beach Road and Immokalee Road. Parents make this left hand turn daily before classes start and later
after school. School buses also make this turn in the mornings. The long length of the buses take up extra space in the left turn lane. Therefore the number of cars are limited in that
turn lane with buses present. Some cars have to wait in the active road lane when the left turn lane is full. This left hand turn lane will also be used excessively due by the proposed
development because the only exit from the development will be onto Livingston. For those that wish to go South toward Naples, the additional drivers will have to make a left hand turn
at this intersection of Veterans Memorial and Livingston.
A left hand turn is where most crashes occur nationally as documented below. What percentage of drivers go South? Probably 50%.This important issue was not noted in the 69 page traffic
analysis report presented to the county. If one assumes that 50% of the drivers from the the high density proposal will go south toward Naples, then there would be a substantial number,
especially in the morning, for school drop-offs and also during rush hour turning left. There is already a existing backup - also not mentioned in the report (the analysis was done
after school started). The increase from the excessive number of additional cars is a disaster waiting to happen due to these unique features of this intersection. Of course it will
be impossible to fix any traffic problem after the fact by changing the road. Prevent the obvious now by denying the development proposal.
There is no question that this left turn traffic will increase substantially due to the proposed developmental design by having the only exit onto Livingston Road.
I have three references pertinent to left hand turns and their safety issues which is a cause of 30% to more than 50% of crashes nationally based on various studies. My first reference
is from 2017 in an issue of the International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology’s article: Pedestrian safety under permissive left-turn signal control. The article discusses
the risk of pedestrian injuries and death. It was shown that the volume increase of left-turn lanes is directly related to the higher statistics. The numbers of injuries and deaths
will increase significantly from the density of this development! The drivers are found to be more aggressive in such situations with pedestrians. This study was performed in a simulator
to obtain such important information. There is increase risk with the longer distance walk such as with 4 lanes or more across intersections. Our intersection has 6-7 lanes going North
with the lefthand lane included. There probably will surely be an increase in crashes from the new development with more adults and children walking from the development based on predictable
studies.
The second article was in the Claims Journal Magazine: Are Left Turns a Deadly Maneuver? This article states "that left turns are at the top of the list as being the most challenging
and dangerous driving maneuvers”. The National Highway Traffic Safety report stated that about half of crashes in the US involve left turns. The risk increases with rain, headlight
glare, distraction by cell phones, confusion with the blinking yellow arrow, the speed of the oncoming traffic and the increase in speeding to "make the light", being complacent or
new at the intersection, misjudging distances especially in older drivers with poor vision, etc. With new residents constantly moving in and out of rental units, there is a learning
curve in regard to the skill needed with this particular left hand turn.
In 2004 UPS eliminated left turns for it’s drivers. FedX also has such restrictions due to the risk. Trucks can’t speed up quickly after the turn and there is the risk of being rear-ended
from fast moving vehicles coming from behind.
The third publication was a 267 page dissertation at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The candidate who performed the research, diagrams, photography, and statistics was
Kirolos Haleem. On page 18, paragraph 4 he quoted that of the 1.72 million crossing path crashes, 75% were from left turns and of those:
41.6% were at signalized intersections
36.3% when a stop sign was present
22.1% at an intersection with no controls (this is a surprising statistic). It won’t help at our intersection by placing a red arrow.
Livingston Road is known as a “Racetrack” due to commuters using this road in lieu of the other close North/South roads of 75 and 41. Livingston is a favorite due to having only two
traffic lights within the four mile stretch. One light is at the intersection of Livingston and Veterans Memorial where the proposed development is being considered. Drivers don’t
want to stop or slow their commute time down. The human visual system cannot determine if an oncoming vehicle is going 60 mph or 45 mph even with 20/20 acuity. This is a setup for a
crash if a driver is making a left-hand turn in front of the oncoming traffic. Add other causative factors such as the oncoming driver running a red light, the turning driver is too
slow to speed up, distraction, not “seeing” an oncoming motorcycle, poor vision etc. and the result is a terrible crash.
We should all be concerned regarding the significant increase in accidents that will occur at the left turn lane to go west on Veterans Memorial from the drivers coming North on Livingston.
Many U turns will increase due to this need. There are many other U turns along Livingston which will be affected also. Few drivers know the Florida law that states - “after a driver
makes a left hand turn the driver must be in the far left hand lane in that road going in the opposite direction”. This of course is the “fast lane” of the new direction traffic flow.
This intersection already causes risks by observing the present skid marks in both directions.
Previous Collier County officials were correct in their original zoning designation for this area.The neighborhood should retain it’s advantages and quality of life for which the area
is known. It should not be changed. Other land will be sold in this proximity in the near future. Signs are already seen adjacent to and across Livingston Road from Barrington Cove.Will
this also be zoned for high density development? Such density should be allowed elsewhere for many reasons.
