Today's updated photo is another Disney sign on Osceola Parkway at its interchange with World Drive directing motorists to US 192 via SB World Drive and all other highways (including I-4) straight through on EB Osceola Parkway.

Today's update is a photo taken on World Drive leaving Disney World.  Instead of the typical Disney Purple overhead guides, they are the traditional green because these were erected by FDOT as the entire World Drive & US 192 interchange is state maintained including World Drive proper.

After looking through your photos, I see a lot of Orlando-area signage is in Clearview.  :thumbdown: Love the photos though, because I can vaguely remember some of them from when I lived in Orlando.

Thanks so much for the compliment.  Yeah Orlando (or should I say FDOT) is using that particular font.

Yes they are.  Motorists leaving the Magic Kingdom Theme Park are directed out via World Drive onto US 192 and I-4.  I-4 east is via US 192 while I-4 west now has a direct connection from World Drive. Yes these are that, and there is one carbon copy sign left on US 192 EB https://www.flickr.com/photos/54480415@N08/13848260225/in/photostream/ of copied over TURNPIKE SOUTH before the Osceola Parkway was built were directed to the Toll Road via US 192 EB.

The other theme parks use other routes out.  Epcot uses Epcot Center Drive, Hollywood Studios uses Buena Vista Drive to Epcot Center Drive, and the Animal Kingdom uses Osceola Parkway.

However all parks direct Southbound FL Turnpike via Osceola Parkway and the Florida Turnpike Northbound via Western Way & FL 429 from Buena Vista Drive as not that much traffic is bound for that particular Road as most arrive from I-4 and US 192.

A new photo I have updated among 3 others today.  It should have been posted a few days ago as its out of sequence to my updates in which I am trying to past in sequential order for the roads I am featuring.

Luckily flickr on your sets can let you arrange the order of photos the way you want, so on my I-4 set they should be in order of how they appear driving.

A photo from the Celebration Area on I-4.  Exit 62 is for two roads so technically the exit is for the I-4 EB C/D roadway that connects with World Drive and eventually FL 417.  This is the first guide that is on one sign as the others has both roads on separate panels as this one condenses the information by leaving out Sanford and just directing the International Airport using an icon.

interesting they only use the icon. most times I see the airport spelled out as well. (which could be considered redundant, especially for those of us that understand the point of the icon)

That is because there is not enough room to fit the whole proper name inside the sign.  Being that there is so many foreign tourists the icon is a great idea.  In fact all airports nationwide should use the icon to save room on the sign itself.  Then if you have multiple airports use the three letter airport code with it as each airport in the whole world has its own unique codes that many are familiar with.

An update for today of a supplemental guide sign on I-4 Eastbound for the Disney Hollywood Studios Theme Park.

This theme park is also a supplemental control city for previous Exit 62, so many will not see this guide who are destined for it, but its good to have a fail safe just in case.  There is always someone who will miss an exit or even a guide sign.

  Another update for my page.  Taken of another guide for Exit 64 on EB Interstate 4 near Disney World.  This is one interchange that has more advanced guide signs than most interchanges get on interstates because you have many tourists bound for Disney's Magic Kingdom so FDOT does not want the many tourists to get lost for sure.

Started a new job so I was away from the computer, so I missed a couple of days, but here is one to start.
Anyway like the greenout that once was Downtown Disney?  Downtown Disney is still there, but FDOT thinks its better to be on a supplemental sign than on the main sign.  The newer sign below ( sign bridge previous of above photo) is made smaller not to include anything other than Epcot.

Photo taken of the construction of the new FL Turnpike and FL 417 partial interchange as seen from the Town Center Boulevard Overpass.  The photo looks down northward on the FL Turnpike with the new SB 417 to SB Turnpike ramp being graded on the left as it will be a cloverleaf ramp in the NW quadrant of that intersection.

Another construction photo of the FL Turnpike & FL 417 partial interchange that is being built.  For those of you unfamiliar with Orlando area roads the crossing of the two freeways south of Orlando never had an interchange between the two.  Now a partial interchange is being constructed to allow NB Turnpike patrons to exit at least on to NB FL 417 and for those traveling SB FL 417 access at least to the FL Turnpike heading south.

This photo is taken along nearby Orange Avenue where the NB Turnpike to NB FL 417 ramp will cross Orange Avenue.  This, as you can see, is the form for the girder anchor of the bridge that will carry that particular ramp across the arterial as seen from the NB sidewalk looking west.

Thank you mass citizen.


Here is today's update just taken this previous week of the same location of the last photo showing the beams now placed across Town Center Boulevard. 
Looking westward on Town Center. The incline you see leads up to the FL TPK bridge.  The future ramp is being built over Town Center as the diverge point is just south of Town Center Boulevard for the future Turnpike exit.  This is being done to also accommodate a future flyover from NB FL TPK to SB TOLL FL 417 at a later date.  Not featured in this photo is a stub being created for that way to the left of the photo.

Happy Saturday to all of you.  Here is my most recent update of the supplemental sign on I-4 Eastbound approaching Exit 75.  Not only is the LEFT EXIT unusual for a supplemental sign, but the hotel in view next to the roadway is one of Orlando's oldest hotels on International Drive.  Although a different name now, it was a Holiday Inn for several decades.  As many of us old timers know Holiday Inns and Howard Johnson's used to dominate the interstate system everywhere.  You could not pass by any major city or suburb on a freeway without seeing either or at once upon a time.   Here after 40 years we have one relic still standing.

Signage that was after I-95 north of FL 528 was completed to three lanes.  Originally it was three lanes up to this exit and the right lane defaulted onto the Exit 205 c/d roadway.  For some reason the construction workers covered it up rather than remove the warning strip below.

Shouldn't the exit tab read either "EXIT 205 A-B" or "EXITS 205 A-B"? 205 AB sounds like they ran out of exits for 205 and started over again.

Also, general question, but did Florida always use white-on-green for the TOLL portion of a Florida Toll Route shield? I could've sworn it was black on yellow, even on overhead guide signs.

White on green for the TOLL banner was the default until recent years. The majority of signs remain in this scheme, though they are starting to change over to black on yellow, especially in South Florida.

I don't think I've ever seen black on yellow in Florida. It sounds a little familiar bc I might have seen one before, but I don't think I have, mainly because I have never been to south Florida. Farthest south I've been is Orlando.

It makes sense - 528 goes pretty much directly to the airport, so signing it close to the interchange is a smart thing to do.

Indeed. There's an airport in Melbourne, but I'm pretty sure the only commercial flights going there are Delta flights connecting through Atlanta, and those flights usually cost more than flying to Orlando (MCO).

Melbourne is indeed only a regional airport with limited flights unlike MCO which has plenty more from more locations including international destinations.

I do not know if United is still at Melbourne or not as they took over Continental a few years back which was the airline that took over the defunct People Express that did fly in there back in the 80's.  They did have a direct flight from Newark, NJ then pre Lorenzo days.  If they kept that flight that PE started to date over all these years, Melbourne would still have some more connection to other areas in the US and as cheap as a flight to Orlando would from Newark Liberty.

Signage on the NB ramp from I-95 Northbound to FL 407.  At time of this photo, FDOT had not yet officially opened the road leading to SB FL 407 yet.  For years this particular ramp only connected with FL 407 NB only.  Since the road widening project took place that widened I-95 from four to six lanes from Exit 205 to Exit 220, modifications to this once partial interchange were made to make it full now allowing access to both directions of FL 407.

Lights above and below the sign seem like overkill.
I don't have opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything

Lately I have been out of sequence with my photos as I try to keep them in order along certain routes or stick in general areas to avoid confusion.  However, lately I have taken some more photos and finding more photos, so I have been inserting some in there here and there.  The I-95 construction photo above was taken last Saturday after I started loading other stuff already on I-95 so that is why I went from Titusville to Ormond Beach and then back to Titusville.  If you want to see the order of the signs progressing northward, go into the I-95 in Florida album and they will be in order there.

Also I inserted some random photos  of a shield assembly along US 27 Alternate in Chiefland, FL and a sign assembly in Camden County, GA along I-95.  My next move is to share some 09 trip photos that I took along with some 08 trip photos on two completely different road trips I took and hopefull start some new albums as well.

Today I move over to US 41 in Williston.  For those of you who know Florida is now moving over to the wide shields, but this intersection here where US 41 joins FL 121 for a brief concurrency is still using 2 digit shields for the 3 digit route number.

Post Merge: November 22, 2014, 01:46:58 AM

https://flic.kr/p/p8TYXR Today's update is another shield assembly NB on US 41 approaching US 27 ALT.  Not signed here is SB US 27 ALT that wrong way concurs with NB US 41 & FL 121 to the right.  I believe FDOT engineers felt it is awkward to sign this type of concurrency especially being US 27 ALT ends a very short distance after the brief overlap starts.

https://flic.kr/p/oXKmEf My update for today is in Jasper, FL where both US 41 and US 129 part ways from their concurrency together heading NB through the Hamiliton County Seat.

Post Merge: November 22, 2014, 01:46:52 AM

https://flic.kr/p/oYG6Fe Today I am offering an update of a mileage sign on US 129 N Bound in Jasper.  The mileage sign is for two Georgia points as this assembly is only 8 miles from where US 129 enters the Peach State.  From this place along the Chiefland, FL to Knoxville, TN route it is 14 miles to Statenville and 38 miles to Lakeland.

The assembly is also just a few feet north of its split with US 41 as both US 129 and US 41 share a 3 mile long overlap through Hamilton County's seat of Jasper, FL.

Post Merge: November 22, 2014, 01:46:50 AM

https://flic.kr/p/peUxcu Today I have a NB US 129 & NB FL 100 shield.  FL 100 is the secret route number for US 129 from the south end of the US 129 & US 41 concurrency to the GA Border.  FL 100 also exists as its own route from Lake City, FL to Flagler Beach, FL as well.  From Lake City to US 129 at Jasper it silently follows US 90 and US 41 to make the route complete.

Post Merge: November 22, 2014, 01:46:48 AM

https://flic.kr/p/p1oUou Today I have uploaded a photo of US 129 at the other end of its concurrency with US 41.  This is a 3 shield assembly for the two directions of US 41 and straight through US 129.  At this end US 129 is the dominating route while the other end of the overlap US 41 is.

Just curious, what kind of project is going on there; I see some sort of construction in the pic.
Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

Lane widening from four to six.  The overall plan is to make I-95 six or more lanes its 382 mile run in the Sunshine State.  Too many tourists and locals in South Florida make the demand overwhelming.

https://flic.kr/p/pi9Zut Another sign assembly in Jasper, FL where US 129 N Bound meets US 41 proper.  Unlike the advanced signage where the three route shields are all at one level and US 129 being in the center, this one has US 129 NB on top of the two shields of US 41.
