Table 11 includes total bicycle and pedestrian crashes by type and severity between 2012 and 2018 for Sun City Center. The inventory reveals a cluster of bicycle and pedestrian collisions along Sun City Center Boulevard, around Sun City Center Plaza and other areas of activity. The largest cluster of bicycle and pedestrian collisions can be seen near the intersection of Sun City Center Boulevard and Pebble Beach Boulevard. Sun City Center Boulevard is a 4-lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. The width and speed of traffic on Sun City Center Boulevard, and the absence of protected crossings, likely contribute to the number of bicycle and pedestrian injuries along this roadway. Figure 43 shows a sidewalk between Sun City Center Boulevard and Rickenbacker Drive, but no pedestrian crossing for bicyclists or pedestrians traveling into or from the area of activity. Pedestrian crossing treatments would improve bicycle/pedestrian safety at these intersections.
