Safety Challenges at Busy Intersections in Venice
Crashes along US-41, especially at intersections like E Seminole Dr, highlight the ongoing risks associated with high-traffic roadways in rapidly growing areas like Venice. Tamiami Trail serves as a primary north-south route through Sarasota County, connecting residential, retail, and recreational zones.
