Vehicular/pedestrian safety, accident statistics, current and future density, corridor speed continuity and the roadside development were the primary considerations for a speed reduction analysis along the Avalon Road corridor. The Florida Department of Transportation uses a Context Sensitive Road classification when determining Target Speed. This is the speed at which vehicles should operate on a thoroughfare in a specific context, consistent with the level of multi-modal activity generated by adjacent land uses, providing both mobility and a supportive environment for vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and public transit users.
