When you complete 400 homes per month, the state/county planners can't keep up with that pace for road access.

You can have all the turn lanes you want, but until people tighten up at lights, few will be able to get to them. I've never seen so many people who stop at a light and leave a car length between themselves and the car in front of them. Because of all the space, they leave other drivers stopped out on moving traffic roads, unable to get to the turn lanes. Tighten up people.....

Those homes and those roads are planned years in advance.

It looks like the construction will be completed much later than 2025. The Right Of Way phase is scheduled for 2026/ 2027. Construction comes after ROW property acquisitions. The document below is from June 2022.

Clay Drain Rd can be used as a bypass to 44 at Spar.
Which is now backed up at 44 due to the opening of the new McDonalds.

The problem is that traffic going north on 301 is stopped at the 44 intersection red light blocking the entrance to the left turn lane so those wanting to go west on 44 can't get to the green arrow and when the northbound traffic gets the green light the arrow is red and now those wanting to go west block the northbound lane. The fix would be to have the northbound and westbound lights green at the same time and next do the same thing for the south and eastbound lanes.

They seemed to have stopped resurfacing 44. Same uneven lanes for the past 2 months

44 is being resurfaced as we speak. One lane done from the Plaza almost to Morse. Hopefully, they'll complete the whole section to 301.

PPPPP is directed at this problem. The state should have planned the upgrade south of 44 for 301 for sooner since TV is growing leaps and bounds, thus the upgrade could have been done already, rather than 2 years from now. Snowbird season will be traffic nightmare for quite a while longer, my friends.

They often do NOT like to inhale the exhaust fumes or get their eardrums burst by loud music or loud exhaust pipes.
