FDOT WORKS WITH LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES IN MIAMI-DADE AND MONROE COUNTIES TO REDUCE ARTERIAL CONGESTION AND INCREASE SAFETY.
Arterial Roadways are a crucial link to our regional highway system. District Six actively manages select roads to provide an integrated approach to transportation management in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.
FDOT uses collaborative measures that optimize the people-moving capacity of arterial roadways by adding advanced technologies, services and techniques to the existing infrastructure.
These measures include enhancing roadway intersections through signal retiming, actively managing work zones and providing rapid incident scene clearance services.
ARTERIALS CONNECT LOCAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS TO OUR HIGHWAY SYSTEMS.
ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT
District Six actively manages select arterial roadways to increase their mobility and safety. The goal is to deliver an arterial system that complements our highway traffic management efforts and build a sound transportation network in our region.
Examples of Arterial Management projects in District Six include Adaptive Signal Traffic Control in Miami-Dade County, Rapid Incident Scene Clearance (RISC) Services, and Operations and Maintenance of the Traffic Signals System in Monroe County.
The District also manages a fully implemented Connected Vehicle (CV) program that physically spans from Mile Marker 0.0 to 112.5 along US 1 in Monroe County, a key arterial corridor that serves as the sole evacuation route and connection between the mainland and Florida Keys.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS PROVIDE FOR THE SAFE TRANSFER OF RIGHT OF WAY AND MANAGE THE DISTRIBUTION OF GREEN TIME FOR VEHICLES, PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES FOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS.
SIGNAL RETIMING
FDOT District Six performs yearly signal retiming on the state highway system. The retiming program also supports initiatives such as special events, diversion and evacuation routes, and transit signal priority.
FDOT District Six coordinates with partner agencies to better manage the traffic signal system through proactive retiming strategies. The overall goal of the program is to maximize efficiency and safety, while considering context and all travel modes.
KEEPING LOCAL ROADWAYS FREE AND CLEAR OF LANE BLOCKING EVENTS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF OUR ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
ARTERIAL RISC
Rapid Incident Scene Clearance (RISC) services are offered along arterial roadways that are known to carry a large number of trucks and commercial vehicles.
This service helps expedite incident clearance along these critical roadways to promote safety and mobility.
