‘SPRING CREEK IS MOST DANGEROUS ROAD’
COMMUNITY TRAFFIC SAFETY TEAM NOTES MORE FATALIES THERE THAN ANY OTHER ROAD IN WAKULLA COUNTY
By WILLIAM SNOWDEN Editor
Members of the Community Traffic Safety Team noted at their meeting last week that Spring Creek is the most dangerous road in Wakulla County.
At the meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10, CTST Chair Andrew Riddle made the observation, and noted two recent fatalities in a crash at the intersection of Spring Creek at U.S. Highway 98. There was some discussion of whether the Florida Department of Transportation could look at a traffic light for the intersection, despite it not having enough car traffic.
Data at the meeting indicated there were 729 crashes in all of Wakulla County in 2022, with 6 fatalities. Most crashes, 567 crashes, had no injuries. It was noted there were five crashes in front of the new Crawfordville Publix, three of which were rear-ends.
