Florida Toll Roads

[02 Park Ave]

"Basically, extend FL 91 to Tallahassee, and extend FL 589 to Jacksonville. If there is a desired limited-access connection from Ocala to Jacksonville, then one can take I-75 Northbound to the extended FL 589 in Gainesville. That way, both Ocala and Gainesville could have an efficient limited-access connection to Jacksonville. I think these proposals create a solution here."

Adventurernumber1, that's a good solution.

A spur of the Florida Turnpike should be built from Ocala to Jacksonville.  Are there any plans being developed?

Though this isn't desperately needed, I just came up with a solution to both this and also the possibility of FL 91 (the Turnpike) being extended to Tallahassee.

I have come up with two route proposals for extensions to both FL 91 and FL 589 (btw I don't think this is going too off-topic since the title of the thread is "Florida Toll Roads," heh): http://prntscr.com/57i08m

Your fictional proposal for the extension of Florida 589 is actually in line with the once proposed Tampa to Jacksonville Turnpike from back in the late 1980s. FDOT wanted to add over 800 miles of limited access highways at the time, with the Tampa-Jacksonville route being one of them. It was shot down though because of strong opposition of the alignment running through environmentally sensitive areas as well as several NIMBY communities speaking their mind (namely in Alachua and Marion counties).

Though it never came to fruition, a piece of the route did get constructed, namely the Suncoast Parkway. Florida 589 does closely follow what would have been the southern portion of the toll facility. The First Coast Outer Beltway (Florida 23), currently being modified and constructed in Duval and Clay Counties, is along the northern piece of what would have been the Tampa-Jacksonville Turnpike.

Ok, There is an investigation about how you can be overcharged on Florida Toll Roads.

They say you should use it for long distant Travels. Then that would make no since because people have to drive to avoid something. Bad

Ok, I can't correctly parse what I read.

This happens with all barrier-system toll roads: if you get on just before the barrier and get off just after, unless there's some sort of refund system (like in Oklahoma) you end up paying more per mile.
