ORLANDO, Fla. — VOTE NOW: Is reducing traffic lanes on busy roads a good idea?
Bicyclist Tim Trask told Eyewitness News that he plans to adjust his bike ride once it happens. Now, he just crosses Curry Ford Road and doesn't take a chance riding on it.
"People are too quick and that's why you get accidents," said Trask.
"Well it depends on the road. It would be considered "backward" if you were taking a road that had 30,000 cars and taking it down to two lanes." said city of Orlando Transportation Director Billy Hattaway.
"Historically we know taking a four-lane road or a five-lane road will reduce all crashes in the range of 40-45 percent," Hattaway.
