traffic
Streets
The region is crossed by five interstate highways operated by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) . The main interstate is I-95 , which crosses all three counties from north to south. Starting in Maine , it leads along the US east coast and ends in Miami, where it merges into US Route 1 . The I-75 is the continuation of the SR 924 at Miami Lakes and leads in several arcs over Weston first through the Everglades west to Naples . From here it continues north via Tampa and Atlanta to Sault Ste. Marie on the Canadian border. In Broward County, I-595 connects I-75 at Weston to the west with I-95 and Fort Lauderdale Airport to the east. The I-195 and I-395 are two city highways that connect Miami Airport in the west with Miami Beach in the east, each crossing I-95.
In the greater Miami area, the private Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) operates together with the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) some expressways, some of which are subject to tolls. These are Florida State Roads 112 , 826 , 836 , 874 , 878, and 924, as well as Florida's Turnpike , which begins at Golden Glades and runs north through eleven counties to Orlando , essentially parallel to I-95, with both freeways on share a common route for about 30 km.
The SR 869 in Broward County begins on I-75 at Weston and runs first north via Coral Springs and then further east to Deerfield Beach .
In addition, several other significant, but not intersection-free US highways and state roads run through the region, including US Highway 1 , which runs from Key West mostly parallel to I-95 to Fort Kent on the Canadian border.
Public transport
In long-distance rail transport, Amtrak connects Miami at the new airport station with several cities in the region and also with a direct connection with a large number of cities along the east coast as far as New York City. In regional traffic, the Tri-Rail serves 18 stations within the metropolitan area along a route from the Airport Station to Mangonia Park in Palm Beach County. Of these, from the Amtrak next to the Airport Station train stations Hollywood , Fort Lauderdale , Deerfield Beach , Delray Beach and West Palm Beach served.
In 2011 the construction of a high-speed line from Tampa via Orlando to Miami should have started. The route should be driven along the existing trunk road network at a planned speed of 270 to 300 km / h according to the principle of traffic route bundling . The plans were put on hold by Governor Rick Scott in March 2011.
Miami owns the suburban railway Metrorail and the inner-city elevated railway Metromover . The use of the latter is free of charge. Both trains are operated by Miami-Dade Transit together with the Metrobus bus system . Broward and Palm Beach Counties each operate their own bus companies, Broward County Transit and Palm Tran .
