Something else I have to ask about is the truck routes around DeLand. We all know the truck route for US 17 is FL 15A, and the truck route for US 92 is FL 15A and Volusia CR 92. But north of the intersection with FL 44, the truck routes are joined by FL Truck Route 44 along FL 15A north of FL 44 and VCR 92 east of FL 50. But no signage for FL Truck Route 44 exists east of the northern terminus of the overlap with US 17 and 92. So where would trucks go to return to FL 44?

CFX is planning on going cashless before the end of the year (2025)... CFX's conversion to cashless tolling would mean that ~95% of the tolling system within Florida are cashless!

The following tolling facilities that will still accept cash are:
Alligator Alley (I-75)
Beachline West (SR 528)
Mid-Bay Bridge (SR 293)
Garcon Point Bridge (SR 281)
Sunshine Skyway (I-275)

Also, on the CFX's website, it states this:

"Texas TollTag, Kansas K-TAG and Oklahoma PIKEPASS toll passes are accepted in Florida on Florida Turnpike Enterprise and FDOT-owned expressways.

CFX will soon accept toll payments for vehicles using these passes on CFX expressways."

EDIT: SR 429 is currently undergoing a cashless tolling conversion, and it will be rolled out one expressway at a time over the next several months.
EDIT #2: It looks like SR 414 and SR 451 has already been converted to cashless tolling.

Seems like a bunch of F-suffix and S-suffix state roads have been re-numbered in Districts 6 and 7. A few 25F routes are now 929, 939, and a few others. There is also 918, 923, 928, 949, 979, and 988 nearby. In D7, that goofy-ahh 93F pair at CR-41 with the gate is now split into 534 and 537. Another 93F at SR-50 is now 411. 50F just down the road is 432, and the old off-ramp to US-98 is now 571, part of which doesn't even have a roadbed. 35F south of where US-98 and US-301 meet is now 545. 400F near Lakeland is split into 558, 560, 562, and 564. There are some more examples out there but these are just a few.

I thought it was a pause for thought, honestly...was forgetting which secret-menu number corresponded with what US/Interstate/Turnpike.

I've been on the Beachline Expressway, and the Sunshine Skyway. I hope to return to them again someday, and I'd like to try Alligator Alley within my lifetime.

When I drove back from my Florida's Turnpike Rest Area photography crusade earlier this year, I took I-95 up to the Beachline Expressway, and I took that back to the Turnpike so I could catch SR 50 back home. While I was on the Beachline, I drove up to the westbound cash toll plaza just to see if my transponder was working. I ended up sitting behind some guy who was paying entirely in pennies. Then when this person was done, the clerk told me I had a transponder and that I should just go, and should've stayed in the electronic toll lanes.

Also, on the CFX's website, it states this:

"Texas TollTag, Kansas K-TAG and Oklahoma PIKEPASS toll passes are accepted in Florida on Florida Turnpike Enterprise and FDOT-owned expressways.

Never been to either of those states, but it's nice to know they're being accepted here. I just wish SunPass Pro gave motorists the option to enter more systems besides E-Z Pass.


I've brought up Boulogne, Florida before, and recently I discovered some old pictures of the place taken by the late John Margolies. More specifically, it involves the "White City Motor Court" and gas station (sounds like a product from the days of Jim Crow, doesn't it?);

Was this located where the "Two Moon Junction" gas station and convenience store is now?

I've listed all I could find in the SLDs on https://wiki.aaroads.com/wiki/Talk:List_of_state_roads_in_Florida#New_frontage_road_numbers_2023-2025 . Most of these renumberings are not yet reflected in the SLDs.
