This research evaluated the impacts of commercial driveway and connecting street features on pedestrian and bicycle safety through crash frequency and severity analyses. Data for driveway-related crashes involving pedestrians or bicycles in Florida over a five-year period were analyzed. The study also reviewed the characteristics of commercial driveways along selected major corridors with high pedestrian and bicycle crash frequencies, which were included in the analysis. The results revealed several significant factors affecting pedestrian and bicycle crash occurrence at commercial driveways, including the number of lanes on connecting streets, driveway design features, median opening type, traffic control device type, and painted bike lanes. Significant factors affecting crash severity were also identified, including shoulder type, alcohol or drug involvement, driveway number of lanes, bike lane type, driveway throat length, and connecting street annual average daily traffic (AADT) in the crash year. These findings provide important insights on addressing pedestrian and bicycle safety issues at commercial driveways, which could be used as a reference for future access management guideline improvement.
