Took this route for the 1st time 1 month ago and agree with you. Noted increase was stair stepped and not very gradual. Seemed like speed dropped every 1/4 mile 10 MPH till it went down to 35 MPH. Looked like a huge revenue producer for the locals. Huge speed traps

Instead of extending turnpike, legislators should look into creating a 4 lane thoroughfare from Ocala area and up to NE Florida section of 95.
