I have just returned from business on 441 and came back into TV through El Camino Real. I have what the family liked to refer to as a "lead foot" when I drive, I was overtaken by almost every car driving the left lane. Most of the traffic was doing close to 50mph, if not more.

If the local police stationed unmarked cars at strategic places through that piece of road, and maybe include BV to 466, we could pay for our police force.

We complain about snowbirds and their driving, but we are becoming just as bad.
The Sumter County Sheriff Dept will set up speed traps in this area two or three times per month. They usually do a "land office business" when they do! I think they have cut back a bit since the new grass was planted along El Camino.
