Protected Bike Lanes Emerge in Miami Beach


June 13, 2017

Biking is a popular way to get around Miami Beach but we all know that cyclists are at a significantly higher risk of danger due to less than stellar bike lane safety. If you’ve spent any time in the barrier island recently, you may have noticed something different. A couple of weeks ago, a series of white plastic poles emerged in West Avenue, marking the first protected lane to appear not only in Miami Beach but all of Miami-Dade County.

Protected bike lanes have seen rapid adoption in large cities around the country. These lanes go a tremendously long way in separating motorized traffic while helping bike riders feel safer. While Miami is significantly late to the party, these protected lanes will soon become a common sight as they proliferate throughout South Beach as well as neighboring downtown Miami and the Wynwood area. Miami, perhaps not surprisingly, is considered one of the most dangerous places in the country to ride a bike.

As West Avenue sees protected bike lanes emerge, Miami Beach will also install these lanes north and south between Eighth Street and popular Lincoln Road. For the time being, the protected lane will extend to the block south of 17th Street.
