Dangerous Areas of the Palmetto Highway

Starting in Pinecrest and South Miami, the Palmetto Expressway begins by moving northward through Westchester and Hialeah. At Miami Lakes, it abruptly turns eastward to cross Opa-locka and Bunche Park. When it reaches the Atlantic in southern Hollywood, Florida, it ends. Due to its design that circumvents much of the heart of Miami, it is a popular toll road that allows for fast travel. Unfortunately, the more drivers that use a highway, the more likely a serious accident becomes.

Along the Palmetto Highway, some of the more dangerous intersections and stretches include:

• Route 1 interchange
• SW 72^nd Street interchange
• SR 836 (Dolphin Expressway) interchange
• SR 924 interchange
• Red Road intersection (near Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport)
• I-95 interchange
• Biscayne Boulevard intersection
• SR A1A intersection

Causes of Palmetto Highway Accidents

The causes of crashes along Palmetto Highway vary. However, checking news reports reveals that some factors contribute to these accidents more often than others.

Common causes of crashes along Palmetto Highway in Miami include:

• Speeding
• Intoxicated driving
• Texting while driving
• Unsafe lane changes

Our Palmetto Highway accident attorney can investigate the circumstances of your crash. The goal is to get enough information to prove that the other driver caused your serious injuries, and therefore, should be held liable for your damages and losses.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents on Palmetto Highway

Although Palmetto Highway is a toll road, commercial vehicles use it just as often as passenger vehicles. When driving along this expressway, commercial vehicle drivers need to use caution and always drive responsibly. Just a moment of negligence can cause a devastating accident like a truck accident.
