In an attempt to improve traffic flow, a test will be conducted by changing how the traffic signal works on Hallandale Beach Boulevard at its intersections with Dixie Highway and NE 1st Avenue. The new traffic signal timing will roughly double the amount of time the green lights are on for Hallandale Beach Boulevard traffic. To accomplish this, a dedicated left turn lane from eastbound Hallandale Beach Boulevard turning north onto Northeast 1st Avenue will be created. As a result, eastbound Hallandale Beach Boulevard will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes beginning at approximately Southwest 2nd Avenue and the dedicated left turn lane would begin at Southwest 1st Avenue. Hallandale Beach Boulevard will return to three lanes east of Northeast 1st Avenue. No lane changes westbound Hallandale Beach Boulevard will be implemented. New signs will be installed to guide motorists through the area. The trial will be evaluated over the course of several weeks; and if it proves to move traffic more smoothly along Hallandale Beach Boulevard, ways to make the test permanent will be explored. The new traffic pattern will be evaluated for 90 days. For additional information, contact Mr. Jonathan Overton at jonathan.overton@dot.state.fl.us.
We are excited to announce that the City of Hallandale Beach has earned its citizens an additional reduction in flood insurance rate.
Because of the City’s active participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) program, the City has now earned a Class 6 rating, effective October 1, 2008. This means further reduction to our citizens’ flood insurance rates. With only a few exceptions, residents located in the flood zone will now receive a 20% discount. If your property is not located within the flood zones, you are eligible now for a 10% reduction in flood insurance. When your policy is renewed, we recommend you contact your insurance agent to make certain that you are receiving this reduction. Please download and present the National Flood Insurance Program Rating letter below to your insurance agent. For more information, please call 954-457-1608. [View Press Release...]
