Traffic Calming Plan:  Speed limits can be lower!  Upon review of Palmetto Bay's Village-wide Residential Speed Limit Report, the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works has approved our request to lower the posted speed limit signs to 25 MPH on residential local roads maintained by Palmetto Bay.  According to the approval letter received from the county, there are certain limitations and requirements that are tied to this approval.  The next step in the process is to bring the item before the Village Council for direction on implementation and timeline.

The project is expected to be completed and fully operational before the start of the 2017-2018 school year. We ask our commuters to pay close attention to travel lane closures and detours and to exercise caution when workers are present and heavy equipment is being used. Please obey all posted signs and speed limits and allow extra time to reach your destination.

Weekly Traffic Calming Updates: Beginning in September of 2016, the Village of Palmetto Bay began publishing a  Weekly Traffic Calming Update every Friday at 6 pm. As we near the final stages for the Village-wide Comprehensive Traffic Calming Plan, the publication has been renamed the Village Traffic Updates and will be disseminated every two weeks with the final weekly traffic update sent this Friday, July 21st. The next update will be sent on Friday, August 4th.  

You can find previous traffic updates and other important information concerning Village traffic and transit on our Traffic and Transit  page. 

FDOT Project: Starting on Wednesday, July 26th (Thursday, July 27 and Friday, July 28 are alternate dates), all traffic on SW 152 Street from west of SW 93 Avenue to SW 97 Avenue will be shifted to the north side of the roadway. The westbound and eastbound travel lanes will be reduced to one lane in each direction and shifted to the northside of the roadway. This traffic pattern will be in effect for approximately five weeks to allow the contractor to repair the south section of the bridge over the C-100 Canal.

 

Beginning today through Friday, August 4 there will be alternating single lane closures on SW 152 Street from US-1 to Florida’s Turnpike between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. to allow the contractor to reconstruct sections of sidewalks and pedestrian ramps.
