Florida initially developed contraflow routes after Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Districts, in coordination with state law enforcement and local emergency managers, determined routes for contraflow. After the initial construction of some crossovers and development of individual route plans, little was done to improve on these plans.
The goal of this project is to determine best practices from other states and identify missing infrastructure that can be applied to Florida’s routes to ensure successful contraflow implementation.
In this project, best practices and lessons learned from contraflow implementation in other states will be reviewed to determine what infrastructure can be applied to Florida. Additionally, a review of all in place and missing infrastructure (i.e. cameras, dynamic message signs [DMS], movable changeable message signs, highway advisory radio (HAR), CB Wizard, etc.) will be performed to determine infrastructure needs for possible deployment prior to the next hurricane season.
