Welcome to wonderful south Florida. I used to live in Miami Lakes and commute south to Coral Gables. I am now living and working up in Fort Lauderdale/Sunrise.
The highways can be packed and no fun at all. I would usually take the surface roads during rush hour. To get to where you are going, these are you options:
If you are in west Miramar, take I-75 down to where is meets the Palmetto, but get on the Gratigny going east. Then take either 27th, 22nd, or 7th Avenue going south. These have lights but usually the traffic is faster than the highways.
If you are in east Miramar, it might be easier to get to the Turnpike and go south the the Golden Glades, or get on Flamingo or University (which turns into 27th Avenue in Miami-Dade). From the Golden Glades, get on SR9 going south instead of I-95. This is basically 7th Avenue.
Otherwise, you can go east at anytime to get on US 1 (Biscayne) and take it all the way down to downtown.
No matter how you crack it, it is going to be a good hour or more to get down there.
My advice, if you can afford it, find a place in the Brickell area near down town and cut you commute to nothing. It may be overpriced, but your peace of mind not sitting in traffice is worth it. There are alot of older homes just south west of downtown that would be good too.
Let me know if you have any questions about the area. I know most of it like the back of my hand.
