Looks like CR-470 is going to be a traffic mess. Currently it is a pretty straight line from the Turnpike to US-301 and there is quite a lot of traffic on it. The maps in the paper today show the road being rerouted and going through a number of roundabouts before continuing west toward US-301. Obviously the 55mph speed limit will also change to, most likely, 35mph. Auto traffic will be bad enough but the large trucks that currently use CR-470 will have issues with those roundabouts. I am not sure they thought this through sufficiently.
