Of course the traffic mimicked the Chicago expressways when it came to a screeching halt and backed up from the wreck at 466A all the way to St. Charles at the St. James roundabout. Holy smokes, folks! Let’s stop driving like Bozos, and keep it down to nine mph over the speed limit.
Buena Vista does have a couple of southbound "express lanes" between Lake Sumter and 466A. Can pick up speed there.
