U.S. 19: One of Florida's most dangerous roads

A new report is shedding light on just how many people have been killed on U.S. Highway 19, something Karine Burkhardt knows all too well.

Human error is just the excuse the state DOT gives to avoid taking accountability. The real reason is exceptionally dangerous road design

I don’t drive because I think all driving is dangerous.

U.S. 19 is no different than any other road and having a 45-55 mph 6-lane road is relatively safe.
What U.S. 19 has, however, is a lot more street walkers and bicycle commuters than the average 6-lane road doesnt (or far less). Every 6-lane road in this country sees its fair share of texting and driving and DUIs. What sets 19 apart is the apparent bloated homeless and drug-addicted population that relies on 19 as their daily walker.

The problem is US Highway 19 is same as 34th Street… but is utilized as an interstate instead of… remember the Pray for me - I drive US 19 bumper stickers 🤷🏽‍♀️🙏
