Long Description:


I was heading southbound (on the west side of the road) on Rt. 1, a huge road, and stumbled across a whole string of these benchmarks. I found this one while bicycling around in search of these exact types of markers. All of the other benchmarks are safe and easily accessible as this one, and all rest in the middle of the sidewalk. Watch out for bicyclists!

You can find this benchmark on the West side of US 1 between SE 3rd ST & SE 5th ST, across from the Gulfstream Park Race Track. (Thanks Ernmark).
