Turnpike Safety : Mainline Safety Program
Florida's Turnpike is committed to creating a safe environment for all motorists. To that end, Florida's Turnpike is investing $40 million in safety-related initiatives, including:
1. Additional Law Enforcement - FHP's Troop K, the dedicated troop of officers for Florida's Turnpike, added new crash investigation officers and increased patrols along Florida's Turnpike and at service plazas.
2. Holiday Motorist Safety Breaks - During specified holidays, restaurants at the eight 24-hour service plazas along Florida's Turnpike will offer free coffee for all motorists who promise to wear their safety belts.
3. Incident Management and Quick Clear Policy - Florida's Turnpike is offering tow operators contract incentives to clear crash scenes quicker. The new policy also maximizes the effectiveness of Traffic Management Centers and advanced computer technology for accident clearance. The goal is to clear all accidents within 90 minutes. In addition, Florida's Turnpike has doubled the number of complimentary Road Rangers who now patrol the entire Turnpike system, including the Sawgrass Expressway.
4. Public Outreach and Education - Florida's Turnpike offers periodic motorist safety awareness events at service plazas, such as child car seat safety checks. Florida's Turnpike also has installed humorous signs on remote sections of the roadway to help improve driver alertness.
