Similarly, the relatively high number of rear end crashes at <br /> Lakeshore Drive and Holiday Park Road(SR 1390) could be due to their location in a curve near edge of Hillsborough <br /> with the potential for unexpected turning volumes along Lakeshore Drive due to vehicles heading into Hillsborough. <br /> There was an A-injury crash and two B-injury crashes involving turning vehicles at Holiday Park Road and Lakeshore <br /> Drive. <br /> Lakeshore Drive does not have turn lanes and is in a curve the near transition from rural to conditions as vehicles enter <br /> and exit Hillsborough which could contribute to rear end crashes.The intersection is located between two lakes with a <br /> culvert crossing the roadway along the eastbound approach and is located at the bottom of a vertical curve.Ensuring <br /> appropriate signage is installed to delineate the culvert crossing and checking to ensure there is not ponding or flooding <br /> during large storms could be considered.Due to the intersection's location,the construction of turn lanes may not be <br /> feasible;however,they could be considered if the intersection continues to see issues with rear end crashes. <br /> There are also a few clusters of lane departure crashes in this section of the study area including a fatal crash.Multiple <br /> factors could contribute to the lane departure crashes in this area,including roadway curvature,high travel speeds, <br /> changing conditions,and limited shoulders.The limited shoulder and proximity of trees to the roadway in certain <br /> segments could also decrease the potential for drivers to recover after departing the roadway.The speed limits between <br /> 77 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
