Miami-Dade Complete Streets Design Guidelines and Resolution R-1009-14 require bicycle and pedestrian accommodations on county roadway projects, integrating with the SMART Plan and regional Bike305 network.
The Board of County Commissioners adopted Complete Streets policies through Resolution R-1009-14 and subsequent design guidelines, directing the Department of Transportation and Public Works to include bicycle lanes, sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and traffic calming on county road resurfacing and reconstruction projects. The Bike305 plan identifies priority corridors and connections to Metrorail stations. Municipal partners coordinate on regional routes, while motorists must follow Florida Statute 316.083 three-foot passing rule and yield to cyclists in marked lanes. The county also operates Citi Bike and shared-mobility hubs at transit stations.
Drivers improperly entering bike lanes or violating the three-foot passing rule face moving citations under Florida traffic law, with points and fines.
