Getting Around Miami Beach This Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day weekend is upon us, which means Miami Beach will be seeing tons of activity as people head to the sunny sands for a suntan, to Ocean Drive for a drink, to Lincoln Road for a great meal, or to one of the many free events in store. To deal with the expected crowds, Miami Beach Police is taking several measures to keep things orderly and under control, including traffic.
To get around Miami Beach this weekend without too much stress there are several things to keep in mind. A large array of license plate readers are being used to scan each and every tag that intends on visiting Miami Beach. These readers will be distributed in a variety of ways including at certain intersections or on top of law enforcement vehicles. As a result, all traffic on the causeways will be funneled to a single lane.
For those planning on visiting Ocean Drive, there is currently no vehicular traffic allowed and it will remain this way until 7 am on Tuesday. Beginning tomorrow, South Beach will be turned into a traffic loop, meaning vehicles will only be allowed to travel northbound on Collins Avenue to 16th Street. Traffic will then continue west to Washington Avenue which will become a southbound only lane until 5th Street. There will be limited access to residential areas and locals will be required to show proof of residency should they wish to enter.
