Does FL 20 really run along FL 100 between Palatka and Bunnell anymore? I looked on GSV and saw no reassurance shields, and the same goes for my NYC trip when I passed through Bunnell from FL 11 to US 1.

FDOT GIS says yes, but I think it's always been hidden along there.

Every time me and my dad are on the older portion(s) of Baymeadows Road (SR 152) in suburban Duval County, we sometimes hit a sudden red light at one of the two signalized intersections for the I-95 ramps. This usually tends to happen at night (or, in the evening). Also, it can be hard to see the signalized intersection for Hampton Landing Drive (which is the main access road for the East Hampton development) while heading east towards I-295/SR 9A from Southside Boulevard (SR 115) on the newer portion(s) of Baymeadows Road (SR 152) at night, especially with the thick trees in the median.

Odd Square I-75 sign at Alachua on GSV: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.8018449,-82.5150653,3a,52.3y,133.88h,86.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZCKK_1Gx_hNXw7Rs-s4-AA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
You have a lot of those in Sumter County, too.


Lake and Sumter Counties turn every shield into a square (or unisign).

Sumter is hit or miss, the county still had a substantial amount of cut-outs when I last went through earlier this year.  It looks like the older shields are getting replaced with the typical Lake County style uni-sign.

Want a laugh, go to State Road 710 in Riveria Beach.  It signed with all US 710 signs from Congress Avenue to Barack Obama Highway (formerly Old Dixie Highway).

That's been posted, I think on one of AA Roads Social Media Accounts

FDOT's website has a list of truck weigh stations on their site;

https://www.fdot.gov/maintenance/WeighStationListing.shtm


But there's one that's missing; The eastbound weigh station on Florida SR 40 west of SR 19 in Ocala National Forest.

Are any of the county road signs posted in Duval County?

Why does the singing concrete in Florida sound different than that of NY?
What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?

It must be the geographical terrain difference.

It depends on the groove pattern used.  It seems to vary state by state.

I just saw a news report on Tampa Bay's ABC Affiliate claiming that  Florida SR 56 will be opened this week, and Google Maps doesn't even have it yet.

Unfortunately, their news report isn't online yet.

Yes, the SR 56 extension was opened 2 days ago Wednesday. I rode on it.

I want to ride it. I'm going to need to add Wikipics of it. Admittedly, I'm disappointed with the intersection with US 301, because I was hoping it was going to be like Suffolk CR 50 at NY 27A, except in this case, US 301 would have a wide divider to separate left-turn access to and from the northbound lanes.


Another question on South Florida; What's up with the median between Exits 101 and 105? I looked at GSV coverage, and it looks like somebody in FDOT is either trying to build something around the Santa Barbara Boulevard bridge, or tear it down.

This has probably been brought up already, but from the air, the stub ramps to and from the I-4/Lee Roy Selmon Connector are kind of hard to ignore. I haven't looked at them from the roads though, so originally it wasn't that much of an issue to me.

There is a stub fenced off east of US 301 and signs on the other side of the fence showing US 301 going N and S from it.  Its obviously a stub to tempt developers to build there even though ideally the road should continue east to SR 39 (IMO it should connect to US 192 near Disney making US 192 a cross state highway).

Looks like to me that if they ever want to ban trucks on FL-585 south of I-4 between it & the Selmon Expressway, those 'stub' ramps will be built to complete that moment.

Good luck trying to get that through the swamplands, though.

It would be a good idea though, right now there is no good alternate east-west route for I-4, unless you want to go thru 100 stoplights in Brandon via SR 60 and then deal with Bartow and Lake Wales.  Let's not forget the hot mess of development happening along US 27 thru Winter Haven and Haines City.

Aw, man! I've said it before, and I'll say it again; the two and only solutions for US 27 right now is frontage roads and more interchanges!

Well, either way, I'm starting my photography crusade of FL 56 tomorrow, and then I'm going to snap pics related to the truck weigh stations on I-4 in Seffner.
