South County Integrated Mobility Study

Table 12 includes total bicycle and pedestrian crashes by type and severity between 2012 and 2018 for Riverview. Bicycle and pedestrian crashes can be seen throughout Riverview. The highest frequency of crashes are seen along Gibsonton Dive/Boyette Road, US 301, Symmes Road, and Big Bend Road Gibsonton Drive/Boyette Road and US 301 are barriers to safe pedestrian and bicycle travel. Gibsonton Drive, west of US 301, is a 4 lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. Boyette Road between US 301 and Balm Riverview Road is a 6 lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. Boyette Road between Balm Riverview Road and Bell Shoals Road is a 4 lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. US 301 between Rhodine Road and I-75 is a 6-lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. The width and high speed on these roadways make them difficult to safely cross, even with the presence of sidewalks, bike lanes, and crosswalks. Table 12.

Sidewalks are present on both sides of Gibsonton Drive/Boyette Road. Crosswalks are available at several intersections along Gibsonton Drive/Boyette Road (Figure 56). Crosswalks at Gibsonton Drive and Park Place Avenue, Boyette Road and Balm Riverview Road, and Boyette Road, and Mc Mullen Road would benefit from additional striping or other treatments to increase their visibility.
