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.
I know three people who make the commute daily and they say every day their commute gets worse and worse. It’s all the building in the villages and Ocala. With no new road improvements.
It’s greed that it all comes down to with basically no oversight.
