These
first few pics are from my camera and they are dark and I didn't feel like
brightening them all. But this is US 1 SB at Red Road in South Miami.
Just southwest of the University of Miami. |
A
pretty good view of the Snapper Creek Expressway, FL 878. It connects
US 1 to the Don Shula Expressway, FL 874, near Kendall. |
FL
878 is a 4-lane freeway with a jersey barrier. It's only about 2.5
miles long. This is at Galloway Road. |
FL
878 ends as is turns into the Collector/Distributor lanes for FL 874 SB.
This is at Kendall Dr. |
FL
874 SB at Killian Dr. |
The
toll plaza on the Don Shula has some SunPass express lanes, sorta like
Illinois' "Open-Road Tolling.". |
These
weird shields are used when freeways are numbered as FL state roads. |
This
is approaching the southern end of FL 874 at Florida's Turnpike. The
turnpike goes over those bridges in the picture. |
The
Turnpike in Dade County is rather wide. |
The
Turnpike, however, does not have open-road tolling. |
South
of the toll plaza, the Turnpike reduces to 4-lanes. |
And
this is basically what it looks like until Homestead. |
Can't
leave out a Florida's Turnpike shield. |
Only
2 miles from the end of the Turnpike, which began near Ocala. |
We
keep left. |
The
exit for NB US 1 breaks to the left just behind the pic, and the SB exit is
all you see here. |
Bye-bye
Turnpike! |
Florida
City. Take your pick of National Parks to visit. |
SB
US 1 in Florida City. |
FL
997 is Krome Avenue, and is the road that pretty much separates all
development from the Everglades. |
I
don't get it, but it is interesting. And useful to someone. |
Card
Sound Road seems more interesting than US 1 down to Monroe County. |
SB
US 1 quickly reduces to 2-lanes. Card Sound Rd. is a 2-laner, as well. |
In
the turn lane for Card Sound Rd. on US 1 SB. |
If
you thought the toll booth on Card Sound Rd. was high-tech, think again! |
A
pretty typical scene on Card Sound Rd. |
