Depends on where the roads are. Its very hard to get across Florida, oddly enough, so going from one coast to another takes forever, even though its not an enormous distance. It took me forever to get from Jacksonville to the lower Gulf last week, although its 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.
