If anyone's interested in the new I-4 west offramp to Downtown Disney (or the general process of getting FHWA approval for new incomplete Interstate access): http://www.i4express.com/Seg1Docs/Draft_I4_and_SR_536_IMR_08262014.pdf

Re: Orchard Pond Parkway

Isn't that CR 0344? So, will we get Toll banners with it?
So many roads...so little time.

It's signed as such, even though it's apparently private, at least in the middle.

You. Have. GOT. To. Be. Kidding.

I've used Shuttle launch checklists that weren't anywhere near that detailed.

When you have the political might of Disney, the brass-balls ingenuity of Reedy Creek Improvement District, and an annoying traffic situation created by both preceding parties, you'd better have a lot of facts and data to back up the proposal for a ramp that will directly feed into Downtown Disney.

This will cut ten minutes out of my drive towards that $16 hamburger at the Rainforest Cafe.

Hahahaha, absolutely true! That's after you wait for 3 hours to get into the joint.

In other news, I94RoadRunner and I drove US 19 through Pinellas yesterday and the entire stretch from Evans Road south to CR 611/McMullen Booth Road is now a full freeway. Some work still remains to be completed where the road narrows to four lanes still, but all ramps exit are already open.

It's not even a direct ramp off I-4, but a split from the existing exit. Note how the actual justification is less than 100 pages; the rest is all appendices (including signing plans at the way end).

This came across Facebook via FDOT... They have posted a bunch of old state maps on their website.

I think it's interesting that Jeff Phipps is building his own toll road, as most people outside the state don't know who he is.
And most people in the state do?
Well, maybe outside Tallahassee they don't.

North of Orlando to Wildwood (where the Turnpike now ends), it's also the same.

Actually on the map it turns north and runs much closer to Leesburg, staying east of US 301 up past Ocala, and never making it so far west.

With The Villages and Leesburg continuing to grow, something similar may eventually be needed.

Yesssss! Thanks, FDOT.

PS: there's a 1934 and 1941, a better-quality 1936, and a special 1946 from the renumbering here: http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/us_states/florida/index_1931-1940.htm

PPS: 1970 is the last one with FDOT rather than Gousha cartography.

Hey, has anybody seen one of these signs in Florida yet? Because I've seen them in some County Roads in Hernando County (although FDOT #7 was the one who put them up).

This one is on Sunshine Grove Road (Hernando CR 493), just before it briefly merges with Hexam Road.

What is the purpose of this and how does it function?

Does it just redundantly display the advisory speed that is already on the turn sign? I don't know logically what else it could do.

I'd imagine that it measures your speed and displays it to you. I see a lot of those signs in Florida.

"It is the only Florida state road with a letter in the name." No?

At least they didn't repeat the "Atlantic 1 Alternate" faux etymology.

Former G1A and A19A, and there's still a few -A routes on the state books (500A in Tavares, though it's quite short).

About time... only been working on that last secton for 4-5 years :P Too bad there are no plans to continue it north, that section of US-19 was.... interesting the last time I was on it.

Yes, that is what they're for. On another curve on that road I actually tried to trigger the "Slow Down" signal deliberately. It didn't show up.

Is that why they won't run it concurrent with US 1 between Cocoa and Port Orange?

907A in Miami, 30A along US 98, 5A in Daytona Beach, 10A and 109A in Jacksonville, all the hidden As underneath interstates....

FDOT didn't think that comment through.
