There are currently no before and after studies to specifically assess bicycle and pedestrian crashes for lane elimination projects. There have been before and after studies to assess vehicular crashes for lane elimination projects (e.g. US-1 in Delray Beach).
During the 2009 FDOT evaluation of a lane elimination on US-1 in the City of Delray Beach a before and after crash study was performed and found a 75% reduction in crashes when comparing the three years after the lane elimination to the three years prior to the lane elimination.
