Traffic Information

There are twelve main roadways in the Twin Cities that can be used to connect to other popular Minnesota destinations. When arriving at the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport you can take either Interstate 35W and 94 are to head into downtown Minneapolis. Both interstates will connect you to the I-494/694 beltway around the metro area. The main I-35 freeway is split into two routes, I-35W which navigates around Minneapolis and I-35E which cuts through nearby St. Paul. You can stay updated on delays and accidents through the Minnesota 511 app or other traffic apps that can provide alternative routes.

The city streets of Minneapolis are laid out in a grid system and the city is divided into four quadrants: North, South, Northeast and Southeast. Minneapolis also uses a rather unique multi-colored street signs system that formerly indicated the priority of plowing during winter storms. Nowadays they designate certain kinds of streets with blue signs indicating Snow Emergency Routes and dark green signs indicate scenic parkways that ring around the city and the lakes. Rust-colored signs are for streets that primarily run east-west while light green signs are for roads running primarily north-south.
