Roads and trouble spots in Model City
Main roads include NW 62nd Street (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd), NW 54th Street, NW 7th Avenue, NW 12th, 17th and 22nd Avenues, NW 79th Street and I-95 and the Airport Expressway (SR 112).
Model City, the City of Miami’s name for its part of historic Liberty City, has long, straight avenues where speeding is a common complaint, many bus stops, and neighborhood schools and parks. NW 7th Avenue and NW 62nd Street carry heavy traffic, and children and seniors on foot are especially at risk.
Transit, bikes and pedestrians
Metrorail’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza station (NW 27th Ave) is at the west edge, and Metrobus serves NW 7th Avenue and NW 62nd Street. If you were hurt on foot, on a bike or as a passenger, your own household PIP policy usually pays first.
