Project Details
About
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is improving safety and operations on U.S. 192 (West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway/West Vine Street/State Road (S.R.) 530) from Bamboo Lane to Main Street in Kissimmee. This project will repave and re-stripe 5.7 miles of the existing roadway to provide 11-foot-wide travel lanes and a 7-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane in both directions of U.S. 192 from east of Bamboo Lane to Hoagland Boulevard. Additionally, the westbound left turn lane onto southbound Oren Brown Road will be extended.
Pedestrian enhancements include new signalized crossing opportunities at Oren Brown Road, Interior Street, and south of Four Winds Boulevard. At Interior Street, the project will add Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) signals and reconstruct the existing bi-directional median. The crossing near Four Winds Boulevard will be equipped with a new PHB, and a there will be a new traffic signal, pedestrian signals, and crosswalks installed at Oren Brown Road. PHBs are pedestrian activated overhead signals that stop traffic to allow people to cross the road safely. Additional improvements include pedestrian curb ramp upgrades and sidewalk connections at Yates Road and Mann Street.

The new traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 192 and Oren Brown has been fully activated with red, yellow, and green lights. The new signal will improve traffic operations and provide safer opportunities for pedestrians crossing U.S. 192. Additional upgrades at the intersection include new crosswalks with pedestrian refuges and pedestrian crossing buttons. The westbound left turn lane onto southbound Oren Brown Road has also been extended as part of this project.
Two new PHBs have also been activated along U.S. 192 near Four Winds Boulevard and Interior Street. PHBs are overhead beacons that remain dark until activated by a pedestrian pressing a button on the signal pole. Once activated, the PHB alerts drivers to slow down with a flashing yellow light, followed by a solid yellow. The beacon then displays a solid red light, requiring motorists to stop and allow pedestrians to cross. The beacon then flashes red, at which point drivers may proceed with caution once the crosswalk is clear. These beacons will increase driver awareness and help pedestrians cross U.S. 192 more safely.
