The weren't any obvious reason for the slow movement (no accident etc.). In Ocala Sam's some of the people we talked to said its becoming more of the norm.

As a side note the pavement on Rt 44 is becoming rough in spots. Especially Turning from Buena Vista to 44, but there are a few other areas.
Pick up 475 where a466 ends. Pleasant drive to Ocala, easy access to either downtown or the highway 200 corridor.
