Your second statement is precisely my point. The straightest line from the turnpike to that area would be up 27/441. However, that route is littered with traffic lights. Slowing to 20 MPH to navigate a roundabout beats sitting at light after light for a minute at a time.

Most of the stuff on the shelf's comes from the north and the midwest on large trucks. Not sure on the thought about navigating round-s-bouts beats lights. If you have never driven a Large Car, Rooster Crusin, Chicken Truck, then you will understand one will do anything to stay away from round-a-bouts and the traffic.
Most of these cats that deliver to these stores around here are local drivers and already know the way of the road. Just like Fedex or Ups drivers, they know which routes to avoid.
Local deliveries such as Publix,, Winn-Dixie I am sure the trucks servicing those stores will use Morse and BV to 466a when delivering. Publix has stores all over, so they go every which away.
Every now and then you also get bed buggers, I mean trucks delivering household goods for people that are moving from the north or what have you to The Villages driving thru here, but that is expected.
