FDOT works with local municipalities in Miami-Dade and Monroe County to reduce arterial congestion and increase safety.

The goal is to implement collaborative measures that optimize the people-moving capacity of these roadways by adding advanced technologies, services and techniques to the existing infrastructure.

 

These measures include enhancing roadway intersections by adding adaptive traffic signal control systems, actively managing work zones and providing rapid incident scene clearance services.

ARTERIALS CONNECT LOCAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS TO OUR HIGHWAY SYSTEMS.

ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT

District Six actively manages selected arterial roadways to increase mobility and safety along these roadways and construction work zones.

 

The goal is to deliver an arterial system that also complements our high-way traffic management efforts to build a sound regional transportation network that benefits all drivers.
