Harold Briley mentioned there were 3 crashes on I-95 in Volusia County within a 2 hour period. Tony stated guardrail was installed on I-4 in Tampa to alleviate median crashes.
There was discussion regarding an article in the Daytona Beach News Journal relating to high crash/dangerous intersections in Volusia County. Nova Rd./ISB was at the top of the list.
Tony discussed the FDOT newsletter. Red Light running (RLR) crashes were discussed. RLR cameras can be installed but clarity is not very good. There was a 40% reduction in RLR in Oxnod, California at all locations as a result of the cameras.

Jon Cheney requested a letter of support from the CTST to fund safety projects. The request was presented as a motion and passed by unanimous vote.

Jon Cheney stated the FDOT has mailed out 2 surveys. One is an FSU survey to rank the FDOT. Are they doing a satisfactory job?
The effectiveness of rumble strips was discussed. Vibra lines were included in the US 17/92 project.
