About the Roads in Miami
The Roads is a neighborhood within the City of Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.
It is a triangular area located south of SW 11th Street, between SW 12th Avenue and Broadway, just west of Brickell.

The Roads is known for its old homes, historic public schools, and its tree-covered streets. The Roads is very close to Downtown and Brickell, but is a surprisingly quiet neighborhood. It is also a unique neighborhood because it is off the Miami grid, and thus all the streets in The Roads are named roads, instead of streets and avenues, as is the case in the rest of Miami.

It is located at 25°45′22″N 80°12′18″W / 25.756°N 80.205°W / 25.756; -80.205, with an elevation 13 feet (4.0 m), making it one of the higher areas in the city.

The Roads is also an entire off-grid plan section of the city of Miami. The streets and avenues in Miami-Dade County are aligned to a grid, where streets run east-west and avenues run north-south. The roads that run from Broadway to SW 32nd Road are roughly 45 degrees out of alignment with the grid-plan. The avenues running perpendicular to these roads are also 45 degrees out of alignment with their respective avenues coming from the north. The avenues in this section run northeast-southwest rather than the standard north-south that the ones in the rest of the county follow. This causes an abrupt change in numerical designation as they cross SW 12th Avenue (SW 5th Avenue turns west and becomes SW 18th Street, SW 4th Avenue turns west and becomes SW 20th Street, SW 2nd Avenue turns west and becomes SW 22nd Street, etc.) The most well known example of this confusion is when historic Coral Way being SW 3rd Avenue, makes a 45 degree turn onto SW 22nd Street as it crosses over SW 12th Avenue.
