I lived in Palm Harbor, Florida from 1996 to 2005. US 19 in Palm Harbor would have bad accidents in or near Palm Harbor almost every day.

I almost got the "Pray for me I drive US 19" bumper sticker and would almost always try to take back roads to avoid US 19 as much as possible. I would have to cross it a few times when going places.

The Villages Daily Sun article focused on US 19 in Pasco County which is even more dangerous than its southern portion.

Of course, pedestrians are often the casualties of heavy fast traffic combined with very wide roads, few sidewalks and inattentive drivers.


No easy solutions though given on how many people and cars are involved. I could not wait to move to the much safer Villages' streets. Even though I did go back to Palm Harbor up to about 2011 to help a couple who had been very good to me.
