with signals and RRFBs to improve the safety of greenway users. Sixty - nine miles of trails, or 14 per- cent, are in proximity to marked crossings of any kind, and 56 miles, or 11 percent, are in proximity to a crossing with an RRFB or traffic signal. Some trails have long stretches with no safe crossing opportunities. One example of this is the US 301 Greenway (south of Big Bend Road). Safety concerns are compounded as the trail is a shared use path di- rectly adjacent to a high - speed, high - volume road.
Even marked crossings can be dangerous for trail us- ers. Several marked but uncontrolled crossings around greenways have been the site of serious injury or fatal crashes in the past ten years, as discussed in the next section.
