Cooper City residents voiced their concerns and suggestions regarding traffic safety during a recent Town Hall meeting held on September 18, 2025. A significant focus of the discussion was the problematic intersection near Embassy Lakes, where community members highlighted numerous near misses and accidents.

Fernando Martinez, a resident, proposed a potential solution to improve safety at the intersection by suggesting a right-turn-only exit from both the Rock Creek and Embassy Lakes sides. He emphasized that this change could reduce left-turn accidents, although it may require drivers to make longer U-turns to access nearby signals.

The meeting also addressed the controversial proposal for a roundabout at the intersection. Adam Newmark, another resident, expressed his opposition, arguing that the primary issue is not traffic congestion but excessive speed. He advocated for a phased approach to address the speed problem, suggesting alternatives such as crosswalk lights, rumble strips, or speed humps instead of a roundabout.

Additionally, the City Attorney clarified that speed camera enforcement is limited to school zones, which means it cannot be implemented at the discussed intersection. This limitation raised further questions among residents about effective traffic management strategies.

As the meeting progressed, participants were encouraged to vote on the proposed solutions, with some suggesting the option to table the discussion for further consideration. The community's active engagement reflects a strong desire for practical and effective measures to enhance safety on their roads. The Town Hall meeting underscored the importance of collaborative problem-solving in addressing local traffic issues, with residents eager for solutions that prioritize safety and practicality.
