That road still sucks.

The OLD Woodrow Wilson bridge wasn't all that wide and perhaps the LEOs thought the jumper might have been armed or the like, anyway, it was a mess.

If he was armed they should have shot him and let him drop, then get traffic moving.

You can thank the rat trap and perpetual construction for that. Wait, we have the non-stop construction here that does nothing to help traffic congestion.....because they add a lane or two but make them toll roads

Had to take my wife to Mayo Clinic yesterday. Reminder of how lousy traffic is in JAX. Glad I don’t have a lot of reasons to leave the island

They're starting to get a lot more traffic here in Yulee off of A1A/ SR200, too.

Very true, but if you haven't had a chance to take the express lane thru downtown Orlando ...

Its awesome. I first moved to Orlando in 99 and avoided I4 thru downtown at ALL costs. Ive driven it a few times now and absolutely fly thru, its pretty sweet. We do have too many tolls, but on that express lane, I'd happily pay double what it costs due to time savings.

The theme park corridor from Davenport to I-Drive is the absolute worst.

When I drive through Orlando, it's either early enough in the morning or later at night so there's really no traffic.

I have heard people say it can take 40+ minutes to go from Home Depot to on the island on weekday morning traffic…that’s what…5 miles?

That is very fortunate. We are usually heading to the parks with the kids so we are getting the worst of the worst.

I have to do that in two weeks, but we got super early to beat traffic and make it there for rope drop to get our money's worth.

Tell me about it.... the further south you go, you might as well be in the north. Hell, Miami might as well be another NYC borough.

Trust me, I have many reasons for not going to the Island and one of them is you'd probably go to the restroom and instead walk out leaving me to pick up the beer tab.

If you ever make it here and we get together I promise to pay the bar tab.
