Federal Highway is a roadway mentioned in the 1935-miami-dade-building-code as a key boundary marker for fire-zones. It serves as a primary reference line for defining the extent of fire zones within the city-of-miami.
In the 1935 code, Federal Highway defines the boundaries for both Fire Zone No. 1 and Fire Zone No. 2. For Fire Zone No. 1, the boundary is described as running parallel to and 100 feet west of the East line of Federal Highway, extending through subdivisions such as miami shores, Biscayne Shores, and Bay Ridge 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 85). This designation places properties adjacent to the highway within specific regulatory constraints regarding construction and fire safety, specifically prohibiting occupancy-classification Type V construction in Fire Zone No. 1 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 104).
The highway also marks the eastern starting point for the definition of Fire Zone No. 2 in the northern part of the city, beginning on the East Side of Federal Highway and moving west through areas like Tranquilla and Buena Vista Gardens 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 103).
