Bicycle and pedestrian crashes can be seen along Symmes Road, but there is no discernible pattern or cluster of crashes. Symmes Road is a 2 lane undivided roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph between US 41 and US 301, and 25 mph between US 301 and Balm Riverview Road. Sidewalks are present on both sides of Symmes Road between US 301 and Balm Riverview Road. West of US 301, sidewalks are present along the northern side of Symmes Road, with gaps on the southern side of Symmes Road. Figure 57 shows an example of gaps in the sidewalk network along Symmes Road. Safety in this area can be improved by filling the gaps in the sidewalk network.

In addition to gaps in the sidewalk network, the only crosswalks are available at the intersection of US 301 and Symmes Road, and at Symmes Road and Ramble Creek Drive (near Riverview Montessori School and Sessums Elementary School). These crosswalks can be seen in Figure 58. As Symmes Road continues to develop, additional crosswalks may be needed to support safe pedestrian and bicycle travel to nearby activity areas.
