Florida�s Turnpike Traffic Management Center (TMC) has two facilities; one in Pompano Beach at the Turnpike Operations Center at Mile Post 65, and the second in Orlando at the Turkey Lake Headquarters complex at Mile Post 263.
The TMC is the central facility for the control, monitoring, operation, and management of Turnpike traffic. The TMC is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week with dedicated staff trained to monitor and respond to the changing conditions on the Turnpike.
TMC Operators work closely with Florida Highway Patrol Troop K, the Road Rangers, FDOT Districts, 511 travel information providers, Traffic Media, Turnpike Construction and Maintenance personnel, the Public Information Office and other agencies to provide accurate and timely information to Turnpike customers.
Intelligent Transportation System field devices are operated to enhance safety, services, and traffic flow for Turnpike customers.
24 Closed Circuit Television Cameras provide traffic monitoring capability. 14 of these cameras are mounted on concrete poles; 10 are on existing Turnpike microwave towers.
26 Dynamic Message Signs, nine Highway Advisory Radio transmitters, and 20 advisory signs with flashing beacons aid in information dissemination.
Behind the scenes, network, maintenance, and development staff play integral roles in the day-to-day operations of the TMC.
