Miami is a beloved and vibrant city that affords residents an experience unlike any other in the United States. Miami has food, nightlife, beautiful beaches, and a mix of cultures that everyone who lives here or visits falls in love with. The area is also bustling with business, visitors, and South Florida fun-seekers.

THE MOST DANGEROUS ROADS IN MIAMI

Compared to some other parts of South Florida, Miami has a particularly high concentration of the most dangerous intersections and roads. These include the following:

  • I-95
  • SR 821/Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike
  • SR-976/Bird Road
  • State Road 826/Palmetto Expressway
  • U.S. Route 1
  • U.S. Route 441

I-95

It’s no surprise that I-95 is one of the more dangerous roads in not just South Florida, but also the country. While it’s true that I-95 is a reliable and necessary way of getting to and from work for many people in Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach County, the interstate is also notoriously hazardous. Anyone who has traveled along I-95 for extended periods has either seen or been in a long traffic backup that was caused by a car accident. The accidents on I-95 are often caused by drivers not paying attention and making mistakes that end in them rear-ending or otherwise hitting another car.

S.R. 821/HOMESTEAD EXTENSION OF FLORIDA’S TURNPIKE

Known as the “Ronald Reagan Turnpike,” S.R. 821 provides a less stressful option for people to commute to and from Homestead and into and out of the Miami area. The Ronald Reagan Turnpike, however, is not without its problems, and the road has seen many accidents. Even if you feel comfortable and safe when driving along the Ronald Reagan Turnpike, be sure to remain vigilant.

SR-976/BIRD ROAD

Bird Road runs through the heart of downtown Miami. While it isn’t a highway or interstate, this road is popular among both Miami residents and visitors alike. Unfortunately, this means that Bird Road is also considered dangerous because it is the location of a number of car and truck accidents throughout the year.

STATE ROAD 826/PALMETTO EXPRESSWAY

The Palmetto Expressway is another popular South Florida road that is used by both commuters and visitors to the Miami area. Because of the interval high-speed, low-speed sections along the Palmetto Expressway, accidents have been known to occur. If you or someone you know was injured while driving on the Palmetto Expressway, do not hesitate to contact Neufeld Law Firm to help you with your case. An experienced and effective lawyer can make the difference between winning and losing your case.

U.S. ROUTE 1

U.S. 1 is one of the oldest and most storied roads in the county. While the road’s age comes with many interesting stories and makes it a fantastic, scenic way to travel, with age comes many hazards like extensive traffic and poor maintenance that make driving along U.S. 1 potentially dangerous for drivers. Make sure you are careful and aware when driving on U.S. 1.

U.S. ROUTE 441

U.S. Route 441 is notorious for T-bone style crashes, which are especially dangerous and deadly. Because of how U.S. Route 441 is designed, many vehicles are traveling at high speeds, while others must stop and look before crossing intersections. The problem with this set-up is two-fold. On the one hand, some drivers are responsible for their accidents because they fail to come to a complete stop or are speeding along 441. On the other, some drivers end up getting T-boned (and possibly killed) because they underestimate the speed at which other drivers are traveling and so try to cut out of an intersection when really, they should wait.

THE MOST DANGEROUS MIAMI NEIGHBORHOODS

As far as violent crimes go, Miami is far from being the most dangerous city in the nation, and most of the criminal activity in the city is relegated to specific neighborhoods. These sections include:

  • Overtown
  • Model City
  • Downtown
  • Little Haiti
  • Allapattah
  • Wynwood
  • Upper Eastside

All other areas of Miami have fewer than 500 violent crimes per 100,000 people each year. While these numbers may be reassuring, they do not guarantee that you are always going to be safe in Miami or, for that matter, any U.S. city. It’s essential to stay aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts, wherever you may be going, to prevent both accidents and malicious crime.
