It's the alternative road into Key West and I have started using it again to come to work. Flagler Avenue is not as crowded during commute hours as North Roosevelt but a line will form at the light on South Roosevelt between 5 and 6 in the evening. 
Flagler Avenue is a four lane road that cuts across Key West's New Town neighborhood from the edge of town all the way to White Street. It is not terribly picturesque and this not well known to visitors but Flagler Avenue is a useful street, especially in summer. 
Coming into town for my night shift it's a lightly trafficked street with not too many traffic lights which makes it a much easier ride than North Roosevelt Boulevard. 
Flagler has it's quirks and it's decorative touches though the homes are definitely modern ranch style on proper sized lots. The High School, home of the Fighting Conchs: 
Once Flagler crosses First/Bertha Streets it becomes a two lane street and the city recently put in sidewalks much to some people's consternation. 
That was a whole other story:
