DRIVING CAN BE DEADLY IN PEMBROKE PINES
Reaching as far west as the Florida Everglades, Pembroke Pines is an award-winning city that only continues to grow. At over 154,000 residents, Pembroke Pines is Broward County’s second largest populous city.
Unlike the heavily congested roadways of East Broward, Pembroke Pines has stretches of road that can tempt a driver to travel dangerously over the speed limit. Speeding in Pembroke Pines can (and has) result in deadly consequences.
YOUR SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CATCHING THE LIGHT
The faster a car travels the less reaction time a driver has to the ever-changing road scenarios in front of them. The most common cause of an intersection accident is when a driver unsuccessfully attempts to drive through the intersection before the light turns red. Driving too fast when the light turns yellow can make a motorist feel like they have no choice but to accelerate.
The intersection of Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road was once listed as the most dangerous intersection in the United States.
CARS GETTING ON OR OFF I-75 (INTERSTATE 75)
The speed that people travel on the highway and a city road should be very different. Not properly adjusting to the flow of traffic can result in a serious car accident.
SINGLE CAR ACCIDENTS IN PEMBROKE PINES
A vehicle rollover is one of the most deadly car accidents a person could be involved in. Single vehicle rollovers can occur when someone is taking the highway off-ramp too fast or if a driver makes an over-reactive steering maneuver in order to avoid hitting something – or someone.
When compared to Broward hot spots like the Hollywood Hard Rock or Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines can be a very quiet city when it is late at night. The low lit streets and little to no cars on the road can be dangerous for a person who is not driving responsibly or is under the influence.
FATAL CAR ACCIDENT NUMBERS MAY BE DROPPING, BUT IT ONLY TAKES ONE CAR ACCIDENT DEATH TO EFFECT A FAMILY FOREVER
Even with the population increasing (as well as the number of cars on the road), the number of auto accident fatalities in Pembroke Pines is decreasing. This could be due to updates in road design, red light cameras, driver awareness of the area and improved safety features in newer model vehicles.
