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.
