Golden Glades Interchange (I-95 Exit 12)

USA / Florida / Golden Glades /
 invisible, highway interchange / exit
The Golden Glades Interchange, located in Miami Gardens and North Miami Beach, Florida, USA, is the confluence of five major roads serving eastern and southern Florida: Florida's Turnpike Mainline (hidden Florida DOT designation SR 91), Interstate 95 (hidden designations SR 9 north of it and SR 9A south of it), U.S. Route 441 (hidden designation SR 7), the Palmetto Expressway (signed SR 826), and SR 9 (which branches southward off I-95 and becomes a major commercial road on its own accord). Since its opening in 1964, flyovers to a commuter train station and bus terminal (in the 1970s) and elevated HOV lanes (in 1995) have been added to it to accommodate the growing regional population, which has more than doubled since the interchange's opening.
