I don't see that happening looking at the terrain between Ocala and Jacksonville, in addition to the naval base and parks. Rt 301 is much better now with the Baldwin and Starke bypasses. Also the notorious speed traps are no longer. And the occasional slowdowns and traffic lights get you acclimated to Buena Vista and Morris Blvd speed limits.
