Subject: Traffic Signal Upgrading and Improved Traffic Flow and Safety
Conditions on U.S. 1 (S.R. '5) Dania, Section '86010

City Manager

f
Dear Mr. Hampton:
i
As a result of recent meetings and correspondence on the above subject,
the Department of Transportation is willing to assist the City of Dania
in improving their traffic conditions.
The Department of Transportation has been studying traffic conditions
along U.S. 1 for approximately three (3) years and have determined the
following facts.
i
i
1. All traffic signals have sub-standard equipment, and are not
coordinated, and do not conform to the 1971 Manual on Uniform ;
Traffic Control Devices in the displays, signal heads, size
of lenses, etc.
i
2. Delays and congestion caused by the lack of left turn storage
lanes, vehicles have to store in the thru lane, therefore r
reducing traffic flow by 50%.
3. Collision diagrams drawn from accident records indicate a
significant number of accidents can be attributed to both the
above.
The Department of Transportation will participate in the installation of '
new traffic signal equipment and displays, etc. , restripe U.S. 1 to pro-
vide common left turn storage lanes for northbound and southbound traffic.
However, for these improvements to operate smoothly, or to operate at all
for that matter, the existing "on street" parking must be relocated to
aide streets or other existing open areas.
I

Before the Department can implement these improvements, the Department
must have a resolution concurring with our recommendations. We are sure
that the City of Dania will cooperate in every way to assure improved
safety and traffic conditions.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
Very_trgly�yours,
