For parking at main Shands (1600 Archer) I use the parking garage at intersection of Newell Road and Archer. It's no charge for patients and they also do valet parking for $5 extra charge if you want.

Just traveled that last week and work was affecting it still, not bad but, not 60 MPH or so. Still beats 24 traffic. I usually up to 24 and come back 441 and cross over to 75.
