Electronic Toll Collection has begun along Southbound 95 Express

Electronic toll collection in the southbound express lanes will begin at 5:30 a.m., Friday, January 15, 2010, between NW 186th Street/Miami Gardens Drive and I-395/State Road (S.R.) 836. Motorists who are not registered with South Florida Commuter Services as a toll-free user of these lanes will be charged a variable toll rate and must have a SunPass transponder when tolling begins.

Motorists can enter the southbound express lanes south of Miami Gardens Drive, from the Golden Glades Interchange Park-and-ride lot, from State Road 826, Florida’s Turnpike, State Road 7 and on southbound I-95 near NW 151st street.

Motorists can exit the express lanes by taking the Westbound State Road 112 Flyover or by continuing south on I-95 to the end of the plastic poles, one-half mile north of State Road 836.

Please follow these safety guidelines for using 95 Express.

• Use the local lanes if your trip calls for exiting I-95 north of State Road 836.


• Do not drive through or over the plastic poles. It is unsafe and unlawful.


• Do not stop on I-95 at any time. If you find that you have gotten into the express lanes by mistake, please follow the lanes to the end where you can safely exit the interstate and turn around.


• If you have an incident or your vehicle becomes disabled while in the express lanes, pull over to the left shoulder. Remain in your vehicle dial star (*347) on your cell phone, and wait for assistance. Do not wait outside of your vehicle.
