BREVARD COUNTY • PALM SHORES, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – Some drivers are being caught off guard and confused by new traffic changes on U.S. Highway 1 in Brevard County.

Bike lane dividers are currently being installed in Palm Shores, from Post Road to Pineda Causeway. Some are asking the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to reconsider the design after they got into an accident and couldn’t get off the road.

The new dividers, which stretch for more than two miles along a busy stretch of US 1 on the Space Coast, are hard to miss.

“I think people are more afraid to drive on the road now,” said Loretta Counts, who drives in the area.

She is also a mother who raised the alarm after her daughter was involved in a car accident nearby this week, causing her car to roll over nearly seven times.

“It’s just crazy to have boulders there. We should always have an escape route from a busy road like that,” said Loretta’s daughter Haley, who was involved in the accident.
