I use 301 going to and from The Villages. The distance is approximately 100-110 miles and you have to be mindful of the speed limits. I tried many other routes and have settled on 301. The traffic lights are not all that bad, spaced out to the point that you can drive 5-10 miles in places at 55-65 MPH between stoplights. Definately be careful because there are a number of towns that pride themselves and even have roadside signs that state that their towns are speedtrap communities. Ocala can be busy along with Bellview as a previous poster stated. Enjoy the ride, approximately 2 hours to 2:15 to cover the distance is not too bad of a drive.
