T V is changing 470 to have round abouts which will force the massive number of huge trucks using 301 to 470 to the Turnpike South toward Miami to go elsewhere. Where will those enroute have to go? 301 to the North / South Turnpike. The chaos has NOT even started on 301 as most intentional Northbound trucks use 301 to the Turnpike N right now of course some S bound are in the mix too.

T V makes sure we can swim, play pickleball, cards, golf and MAYBE shop at Publix the day we close on a house. Shopping and traveling outside of the Bubble is NOT any type of priority. Perhaps we need to ride share or have a V bus from S of 44 up to 441 where you can actually do your shopping until 2025 when Wildwood turns 301 into God knows what.

Yeah, that is going to be interesting.

Billy-Bob is used to driving 65 MPH along 470 when he leaves his job in Leesburg and heads to his home in Bushnell, Sumterville, or Lake Panasofkee. He will not be happy cruising thru a roundabout at 20 MPH. I guess we will see how it works out.

...

Plus traffic taking children to and from there new Charter Schools.

Hope they set up School Buses to bring students South where possible.

There probably was opportunity to build a 470 bypass road, especially since they are rerouting most of it. But that opportunity is gone.

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.....

If my memory serves me correctly…….when we were taught to drive, a car’s length was the proper amount of space to leave between two vehicles. This is the safest. If one were to get rear ended, your chances of not hitting the car in front of you are much better than being a foot away from their bumper. Why the hurry? Isn’t best to be on the safe side? It’s not all about you and not being patient enough to sit through another light if need be. Don’t worry, you will eventually get where you are going.
