Overview
- President Donald Trump attended a Jan. 16 event at Mar-a-Lago where road markers were unveiled and presented for the newly designated stretch.
- The four-mile segment runs between Palm Beach International Airport and Mar-a-Lago and is the route frequently used by the presidential motorcade.
- The designation was authorized by Florida’s House Bill 987, sponsored by state Rep. Meg Weinberger, after local approvals that included a 7–0 county commission vote.
- County leaders emphasized the designation is honorary only, with signage rolling out after required inspections, and mapping services such as Google Maps already reflecting the label.
- The move drew both praise and criticism over precedent and politics, while Trump’s visit prompted road closures and flight restrictions around Palm Beach.
