Depends on where the roads are. It’s very hard to get across Florida, oddly enough, so going from one coast to another takes forever, even though it’s not an enormous distance. It took me forever to get from Jacksonville to the lower Gulf last week, although it’s not really that far. But I had to thread my way through many little country roads and past many cows and 45 mph zones. I think a few well-placed roads could be a good help, and they would actually get some business for a few dying or depressed towns in the center of Florida (inhabited only by migrant workers and a few elderly).
So I think the important thing is to find out what the plan is and where the roads are going.
That sounds fair enough.
Doesn’t sound like one should have to take side roads to get across Florida but then I don’t know the need, etc.
Have a good one! :)
The Hurricane changed a lot of the equation on this. Had it hit as it was forecast, with millions stuck on the three major roads north out of South Florida, 10’s of thousands could have been killed.
Nope
Oh boy more alligators to show up and eat vehicles and their occupants. Pay your tolls or else
I concur. I live in WPB area and it’s a pain to go across state, let alone south west. I have to literally do a big U. Down turnpike to Sawgrass and up 75 at Naples. I can see the benefit of two or three cutting cow-country and the Jackie Gleason speed traps in the middle of the state.
Besides - you get used to using your SunPass. Cash toll lanes really slow things down.
Some "fly-over" towns won't take the crowding too well.
Still, I like seeing cow-country go by, and the "blue roads" sometimes take the same amount of time.

Yes! There are so many places that have dirt roads. And only one road to get places. It’s absurd. This is great news!!!!! Look at whose against this. Winning!!!!
