Miami Beach Tries Slow Streets


October 26, 2020

Have you driven through Miami Beach’s Flamingo Park neighborhood recently? If so, you may have noticed some roads stating something along the lines of being open solely to local traffic. You may be surprised to learn that it’s not due to yet another construction project. Instead, it’s part of a thirty-day pilot program dubbed Slow Streets, a concept that’s seeing greater adoption as people stay home and do more activities near their homes such as walking or biking.

The idea behind Slow Streets is fairly simple. By taking advantage of streets where traffic usually low, these streets can be turned into pedestrian and biking friendly experiences by converting them into one-way roadways or roads that are only open to residents and delivery vehicles. Residential parking remains unaffected, social distancing rules are in place, and drivers are asked to slow their speed. Some of the roads in Miami Beach that are part of the program include Pennsylvania, Lenox, and Jefferson Avenue.

Although Slow Streets only began recently, it has received a positive response. Miami Beach follows in the footsteps of cities like San Francisco, New York City, and Seattle that are also giving Slow Streets a test run.
