Welcome to the official Florida Department of Transportation District Four RU-vid channel. District Four covers Southeast Florida, including Broward, Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast.
About freaking time. Can believe it wasn’t connected years ago thanks to a bunch of now deceased retirees in that cemetery village’s community. They screwed over many future generations thanks to their boomer selfishness
People drive like bats out of HELL!! It's horrible!!!!! WHY doesn't Florida put cameras up that catch and FINE speeders????? They do this in many countries, but not here. WHY NOT????
This was great and should segue into an experiment. Do it again on a different day and time, for five more times total. I think the results would be more substantial. Great work and fun here.
Thank you for sharing this experience! I am sure whenever TriRail launches the express train to downtown, train travel time will be shorter… even to Fort Lauderdale… the coolest part is to have transit options!
Coming from Mass, FLA has the best management of work zones around. Notice there are very few speed limit reductions... In MA you can expect to go down to 45 or lower, even on the Mass Pike... which of course everyone ignores - creating a more dangerous situation. FLA does it right and keeps the workers safe. When I first moved here I went to Orlando (of course) when they were rebuilding the interstate. I couldn't believe the trouble they went to put a lane reflector every yard for every lane for the entire distance... in Mass it would just be a lane free-for-all. There was a lot of money spent to keep the lanes open and safe!
Please add turnpike entrance when driving west on 10th, the Lyons U turn is horrible and wastes so much unnecessary time. Shouldn’t take 10 minutes to get on a highway I can hear from my house…
Great! The sound barrier wall isn't tall enough to block the sound now so let's raise the traffic up higher so we can hear the trucks with defective exhaust systems and the crotch rocket motorcycles that race up and down in the middle of the night....Good thinking, where do I apply to get the planning job?
Im curious why not make connectors to the Turnpike. On SW 10th going west right before you hit the sawgrass they should make North & South bound connectors for the Turnpike, so that everyone doesn't have to drive to Lyons just to make a U-Turn in order to access the turnpike. Just a thought from a local resident.
Mr Scott. I am glad the coin flipping thing worked out pretty well for Civil Engineering as a career choice. The industry might have missed a great professional. cheers!
The only way that can be achieved is if local authorities and politicians create a law with hefty tickets to protect the environment for different situations cause, in reality, most humans never slow down or move over 🚔🦺
Hi Regina, I'm a Civil Engineer based out of California with 10 years of experience. Civil Engineering is a broad field, what I do in my day-to-day job is one of two jobs, doing government infrastructure projects (big pipes in the ground) or being hired by a developer to do infrastructure improvements in support of development (install utilities / build roads for a residential tract / commercial center / industrial plaza). The most complicated math I do *occasionally* is basic algebra. For my work, if I need to do something mathematically heavy I have a program purpose built to handle those applications. It is important to have an understanding generally of the math, my job isn't to do the math so much as to gauge if the program's output makes sense. Long story short, do not be afraid to pursue this profession on the basis of a weakness in math, you will be fine. It is not difficult to get into this field. My experience with Civil Engineering is that experience is 10x more important than formal education (though both are important). The job is scalable too, there is a very natural ramp and ladder you progress up as you learn more /take on more responsibilities / add more skills to your tool-kit. As you start, your job will likely be akin to that of a "drafter", someone who works within a specialized program (autocad) to draw up the plans taking advice from an engineer. You'll learn to love Autocad. Final thoughts, I would recommend the career. The pros are that right now, the economy is very good for a civil engineer (relatively easy to find a job), pays well (starting engineer probably paid 70k - 80k, when i started i was paid $23 an hour but it's gone up), challenging, rewarding, engaging, and very scalable as you learn more. The biggest con for me is that it's stressful. There are times where I have to throw hours at a project to get things done which can be disruptive to work-life balance. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you. If you have a good work ethic, I am confident you can make a career out of Civil Engineering. You will not look back and regret this career path.
@@KiwiZama what about electrical engineering if you know anything ? Is civil better than electrical? It's really important decision for me right now lol
