About Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a coastal city located in the southern part of the state on the Atlantic Ocean. The city is known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich cultural heritage. The main highways in Fort Lauderdale include I-95, which runs north-south through the city and connects it to other cities such as Miami, West Palm Beach, and Jacksonville, and the Florida Turnpike, which is a toll road that runs west-east through the city and connects it to Orlando and other cities in central Florida.

During peak hours, traffic on these roads can become congested, especially I-95, which serves as a major north-south highway and is the main route for travelers to and from Miami and other cities in southern Florida. To manage the flow of traffic and reduce congestion, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) monitors the highways using cameras and other technology.

FDOT also implements various measures such as adjusting traffic signals, adding extra lanes, and providing alternative routes to alleviate traffic congestion. Additionally, the department works closely with local authorities to coordinate road construction and maintenance projects, ensuring minimal disruption to the flow of traffic.
