And there are no tolls on the Palmetto. The worst part of that commute is getting from east Hollywood to 441, and that's not even that bad. The Palmetto also gets stuffed up once you get down near MIA Airport and the 836 (Dolphin).

You can't pay me to go on Palmetto Expressway. This is probably the worst, third-world inspired highway design, done by some third-world highway designer.

The only time it is OK is in the dead of a night on a weekend.

Also the driver habits on the Palmetto are hair raising.

Ruski,

I agree about the drivers on the Palmetto. But honestly, they're equally as bad on I-95 in Miami and on the Dolphin Expressway. If I had a penny for each time some idiot almost changed lanes into me on I-95 in Miami, I'd be a rich man. In fact, I think the fact that it happened so many times yet never resulted in an actual collision is a miracle that defies the odds of probability.
