Anyone else in the Palmetto nightmare this morning?

It was awful!  I got on the Palmetto at 8:10am on Kendall.  I saw it was a parking lot, and got off at Sunset (1 mile) and it took me 30 minutes!  So I took 87th Ave North and from Sunset to NW 25th Street, I took another 1.5 hours!  yes... it took me 2 hours to drive 7 miles!

I hate the Palmetto.

Re: Anyone else in the Palmetto nightmare this morning?

  • Nope I've never driven on the Palmetto but I hear about it all the time on the radio. Its always a mess. people need to learn how to drive. 2 hours is a little ridiculous to go 7 miles. Sorry about your morning.
  • Poor thing!  I'm sorry to hear about that!  I used to take the Palmetto from Miller to 8th street every morning, but if I ever happen to see that the traffic moving slowly from a distance on the overpass, I wouldn't get on.  I know sometimes you just have to bit the bullet and get on anyway!

  • Sorry to hear you had a rough time getting to work today.  That would have ruined my whole day.  The traffic in South Miami is part of the reason I moved to Pembroke.  I just hated that there were not many outlets.  If the freeway is packed everyone get off and the streets become packed.  Hated it Sad

    I didn't encounter the accident off of 8th street, but did see the one after Flagler... I do detest the the people who stop to view!
