Traffic/boating advisory for Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the year on the road and on the water in the Florida Keys, as such the Sheriff’s Office will be out in force.

The influx of visitors is expected to cause traffic slowdowns/backups. Be patient and plan accordingly.

Deputies will be looking out for people passing in no-passing zones, passing illegally in turn lanes, traveling at unsafe speeds, and drinking and driving.

On the water, Sheriff’s Office will keep an eye out for unsafe boating practices, particularly drunk boating. Designate a sober driver to bring the vessel and its passengers back to shore safely.

Be patient at boat ramps as they are expected to be busier than normal as well.
