Default Re: Interstate 95 through Jacksonville

We had always considered the drive through Jax on I-95 to border on the seventh circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno. We usually use I-295 and connecting roads to 301 and found this route okay, staying conscious of the speed traps and living with the traffic lights on the latter. Also, both our GPS systems recommended this routing (the one built into the Prius and our hand-held Magellan). However, we weren't aware of the 9A option around Jax and maybe we'll try it next time we drive down; thanks for the tip! We've also driven through the Ocala National Forest and though a two-lane road, it IS a wonderful ride!
