There's a long stretch of road between Florida City and Key Largo. It's called the 18 mile stretch. If you're driving back up from the Keys towards Miami there is or was a "Crocodile Crossing" sign on the north bound side of the road. I used to play in bar bands down in the keys back in the 90s. We were coming back up from one of our gigs and I saw a crocodile just sitting there basking on the side of the road. Needless to say, we did not stop to say hello.
