Hazards at Apopka Intersections: Increased Risk at Busy Corridors
The intersection of E Semoran Blvd and Lake Pleasant Rd is one of the busiest in Apopka, with heavy commuter traffic passing through the area daily. The mix of local and through traffic can often lead to hazardous conditions, especially when roadways are wet or visibility is low, as was likely the case during the early morning hours.
