That's an interesting choice for several reasons:
1. Literally nobody in Florida can drive. Nobody indicates. People run red lights. They speed on the hard shoulder to overtake someone else who is speeding slightly less;
2. There's a lot of things that come down to timing, like when the bridges are up on the Venetian and over the Miami River. You can also get trains blocking the entire of downtown;
3. It seems like there's constant rerouting for closed roads, typically due to contruction;
4. Inclement weather. High winds and flooding. Biscayne Boulevard is often called Lake Biscayne. 30 minutes can be the difference between Miami Beach being dry and every road being 1 foot deep in water (not an exaggeration); and
5. What will be the covered area? I guess Phoenix and LA sprawl too but what constitutes "Miami" goes south, west and north pretty far. I mean there's no break between Miami, unincorporated Miami-Dade County and Fort Lauterdale.
- 0xbadcafebee 2y agoYeah, I dunno if the team understands just how crazy Miami driving is. Maybe they'll restrict it to Downtown, Miami Beach, the Grove, etc to limit the chaos?
- NickC25 2y agoThat won't limit the chaos. FWIW I went to whole foods downtown today and nearly got hit twice. I live in Midtown, so it's quite literally a 27-block trip. Some of the worst driving (save for on 95) I've seen here has been either 1. idiots on the Beach 2. idiots in Brickell or 3. idiots in downtown. People here suck at driving.
