17-10 Miami #3 of 4: The Street Tour and More, Much More!

[@MrJamesgrate]

Wow, I don't know how you are able to keep focus on the highway and not get distracted by the scenery in the foreground, your music selection is perfect, again outstanding, truly another awesome video dude!!!!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks James, yeah there's a lot to look at around there, I try my best to stay focused on the road.....Driving in Las Vegas is very much like that too.

[@thebionicpig]

I can't be the only spectator who moved the living room furniture and pulled out the old danced moves for this venture (out of breath) THE MOST FUN I had on my day off Thank & Bless you sir!!

Fantastic. Lifelong Los Angeleno who moved to Miami two years ago...I love the city. You really captured its flavor and energy - it's truly like no place else. Cheers!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@assaultislove]

[@amtrak49]

I live off of these 15 minute plus videos!! Simply amazing from the music, to the streets, lights, and freeways! All I have to say is that I will be watching this for weeks to come! :) You definitely show off these cities well!!

[@KCWanderlust]

Who needs Vegas or even the 4th of July when you have THIS to admire. Eye Candy at every turn, and I really liked the "up close & personal" with the airport! I'd probably be wanting to scout a good location for planespotting! The Afterhour tune was spot-on-perfect, too!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, and the sad thing is there was so much more I wish I could have done/gotten, there was a bad wreck on I-95 Northbound so I had to stay away from that area and we wanted to do a Facebook Live, which we did after this ended so that's 30 minutes we'd have otherwise been filming for FWJ, so many roads, so little time :)

[@Freewayjim]

The Afterhour tune was Erik's idea, we played a couple times during that drive as to get a feel for it, which I thankfully did.

[@KCWanderlust]

I know the feeling well. There was also a horrible accident that must have just happened before we stumbled upon the aftermath. Told the family that I WON'T be including it in the video. It wasn't pretty, to say the least.

I lived in CutlerRidge( now Cutler Bay)in the early 90s, Kendall, Coconut Grove and Miami Beach in the late 90s early 2000s. Now I am living in Newton Falls Ohio an hour SE of Cleveland. This is a beautiful video and shows how beautiful the Miami area is at night. But don't be fooled the traffic during the day is horrendous, especially on the Palmetto 826 and the Dolphin 836 expressways.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

Wow!! Somewhere else where I used to live (several different places, in fact). I saw SW 14th Street while you were on Brickell. Turn left down it, and there used to be an old apartment building where I lived in 1970 for about a year or so. I had just come back from having spent six months in Israel (I was still expecting to see street signs in Hebrew and Arabic) and I noticed that my landmarks had been torn down while I was gone. Believe me, those huge condos and other buildings were nowhere around then. I still remember how I loved those lights in all those buildings downtown and I had a sudden sensory memory of how the warm, humid air felt. Sensory overload is a mild description, especially if you're on the autism spectrum like I am. A beautiful sensory overload. Thanks for this video.

Great Ride Along video! Got instant feeling from playing GTA Vice City in my childhood - great memories :P

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@EuropeanRoads]

That was an entertaining ride! North American urban freeways are much more impressive than Europe. There are some nice routes here and there, but in large U.S. cities you'll get all those big interchanges and skyline views. Miami looks great at night. The 826-836 interchange is very impressive.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, yes Miami really does look great at night, one of the better cities for driving around too.

[@flierfy]

That's not true. Roads in European cities are by no means less impressive. Quite the contrary. Due to the preservation of genuine urban cities the design elements of these roads are distinctively urban which results in some truly spectacular roads.

[@flierfy]

What you call tame is in fact a sophisticated approach to road design that considers the needs for all road users and not just those of motorists as well as environmental aspects. European design standards are not matched by those in the United States. American roads are positively third world to put it mildly.

[@nvyoung]

Wonderful video from the song selections to the footage. Florida's DOT does a really good job with their road lines and reflectors to make it easier driving at night. That new tunnel was fantastic and I see they really like using those speed radar signs down there.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, yes everything about driving in the Miami area is top notch.

[@monoceros1222]

Wow! I drove Miami in 2009. Neither the tunnel nor the bluelit interchanges was there yet. But the skyline was still very impressive.

Down here visiting the area now. Yes the traffic is so bad here by the beaches. To add to that the roads are under construction and many repair bumps are poorly done. Giving a bumpy drive besides the volume of traffic. Growing pains in effect here.

Nice video and Miami Vice showcase I love that show.

[@gootchie]

Hard to believe that such a gritty, crime-ridden city (or so the media likes to have us believe) can be so beautiful at night. Few skylines in America can compare.

Superb! Another job well done! I did notice watching throughout that people drive crazy there!! I learned to drive in a big city, but they seem to cut right in front of a lot of people zooming from the far left all over to the right to make their turn! Then zooming around traffic so they can go first! Yikes! Reminds me of driving here in New England.

Thank you Dan! Yes, the drivers are pretty crazy down there and it was consistent throughout the time I was in the Miami area.

Thank you, the speed is varied in places as you can probably tell, 2 to 2.5x on streets and 3.5 to 4.5 on average on freeways but it will vary based on many factors, including the music tempo or how and when I want certain things to happen.
