Hate it but there are about 6 spots on 98 that are needed first.

The slow downward spiral of Florida continues. At least it’s not a rotary.

There needs to be a light at intersection of 98 and Orange Street in Inlet

Oh God so you have to wait for traffic? Call the nonemergency number and demand a deputy be stationed there so you don't have to wait.

Its not about waiting, its about the visibility when three cars are in the middle of the turn lane, with more and more traffic now, there needs to be a light- almost two accidents there the other day

Before the light, I wasn't cautious at all. Now that we have a light, I will be sure to use caution! Thanks for the tip!

Did they drop 393 from the list, or is it just last on the list?

Well it already has one so it would seem redundant.

393 at Gulf Place and 30A does not have a traffic light and is not on the current list but was included when the first list was announced in Spring. Watersound Parkway at 30A and 395 in Seagrove at 30 A have traffic lights

My bad I read that as 395.

Could we just name our major arteries already?
