Miami Route 2 Stop Adjusts for School Traffic

Route 2 stop at University Drive and Westview Drive closed weekdays 2-4 pm due to school traffic

Route 2 Stop Closed Weekday Afternoons

A bus stop on Route 2 will be unavailable during weekday afternoons due to school zone traffic congestion. Stop ID 5520 at University Drive and Westview Drive won't serve Route 2 passengers Monday through Friday from 2 to 4 pm, transit officials said. The closure affects riders who typically board at this location during afternoon hours, though alternate nearby stops remain available.

School Zone Traffic Drives Change

The stop closure stems from traffic congestion in the school zone during dismissal hours, according to the transit agency. Officials said the temporary unavailability helps buses maintain schedule reliability when vehicle traffic peaks near schools. Transit agencies commonly adjust stop availability near educational facilities to prevent delays that cascade through route schedules. The agency didn't specify which school's traffic pattern prompted the change or whether the closure is permanent or seasonal.

Limited Service Window Details

The stop remains unavailable specifically during the two-hour window from 2 to 4 pm on weekdays. Officials didn't provide information about whether the stop operates normally during morning hours or on weekends. Route 2 passengers needing to board during the closure period will need to use alternate stops, though the agency hasn't specified which nearby stops serve as alternatives. The distance to the nearest available stop during closure hours wasn't provided.

Implementation Already Active

The stop closure is currently in effect during the specified weekday afternoon hours. Officials didn't announce when the closure began or provide a timeline for how long it'll continue. The agency typically evaluates such operational adjustments periodically, though no review schedule was provided for this particular closure.

Riders Should Plan Alternate Boarding

Route 2 passengers who typically use Stop ID 5520 at University Drive and Westview Drive should plan to board at different locations between 2 and 4 pm on weekdays.
