Residents and commuters are advised to plan their routes in advance, allowing extra time for travel. The Florida Department of Transportation has also set up a traffic alert system on its website, providing real-time updates on construction projects and lane closures.

  • Alternatives to Traffic Congestion:
    • Public Transportation**: Consider using public transportation options like the Palm Beach County Transit Authority or the Tri-Rail for non-essential trips.
