Don't hold your breath waiting for the county officials to make those decisions. They are too busy building a much needed sidewalk along Route 44.

As has been said many times both on this website and several others, the sidewalk on SR44 and the work on SR44 is part of an FDoT project and the county has absolutely no say in it.

With respect to 470/Meggison Rd, 470 is slated for expansion to 4 lanes by Lake County in the near future. The composition of traffic control devices will be determined by Lake County and the FDoT during the expansion.

As for the 470 intersection and the 468/Chitty Chatty intersection, neither at this time have sufficient traffic volume to warrant the installation of additional traffic control devices. While you may have to wait 30 seconds or more to execute a left turn, it can be executed safely, and in most cases, more quickly than if one had to wait for a traffic light to cycle.
