Why does Stirling Road ramp to I-95 need signal?
Q: The northbound Interstate 95 on-ramp from Stirling Road has a traffic signal for westbound Stirling motorists once they turn onto the ramp.

Long waits the norm at Commercial and Dixie

Officials defend signs on I-95 on-ramp at SW 10th Street
Q: The Interstate 95 northbound on-ramp from Southwest 10th Street lacks a yellow warning sign to let drivers know they have to merge.

Signal data sought at Miramar Parkway, Dykes Road
Q: Construction at Interstate 75 and Miramar Parkway is finished, but why can't they increase the green light for drivers headed west on Miramar at Dykes Road, which is just west of I-75? All the project did was cause traffic to back up on I-75....Tags: Miramar, Travel, Broward County, Science and Technology, Road Transportation

Readers weigh in on non-Christian holidays
