With all the extra visitors, there’s bound to be a lot of traffic. Here’s what you need to know for this weekend:<\/p>\n

Traffic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u25aa Ocean Drive will be closed to vehicles from Friday morning through Tuesday morning. The city will also have an evening traffic loop from Saturday evening through Monday morning between Fifth and 16th streets with exits to access parking garages. Collins Avenue will become a one-way street heading north. Washington Avenue will become one-way heading south. Only residents with a photo ID will be able to access east and westbound streets between Fifth and 16th streets.<\/p>\n

\u25aa Traffic on the Julia Tuttle and MacArthur causeways will funnel down to one lane Friday, Saturday and Sunday night so police can scan the license plates of everyone entering the city to keep out stolen vehicles and people with outstanding arrest warrants.<\/p>\n

\u25aa Miami Beach is encouraging visitors to download the free city app ParkMe<\/a>so they can locate available parking spots instead of circling South Beach in search of an empty spot. The app includes parking rates for lots and garages and real-time occupancy information for some parking facilities. Once in Miami Beach, visitors can use the free Miami Beach trolleys<\/a>to get around.<\/p>\n
