Cant wait to see what 331 will look like every morning once the temporary light makes 98 a parking lot from 6:30 til 9am...
DOT has decided to reduce speed limit from 65 to 55 from 331 to 1000 feet west of 83 intersection.
They might as well just remove the 65 all together because it only goes for about a 1000 feet west of 83 anyways.
And it seems to me that the only accidents have been in the eastbound lanes.

Thanks for taking down the Public beach access signs on 98 at highway 83.this will help with traffic and parking at BMB....Cindy Meadows said this would happen last summer 2015 along with 30A parking space problems. now I hear they (commission) are actually following through with their 2015 promised plan....

I totally agree. If you're going east from Sandestin, you have 55, then 45 around 393, then 55, then 65 for a short stretch, then 55 except for 45 at the 331, 283, and 395 intersections (and that's where I turn -- BTW are those 45s ever enforced?). The 65 in such a short stretch is ridiculous.

So sorry about these horrible accidents. :sosad:

Wow. Most of the comments on this post are all about how this accident and the traffic is messing up life for south Walton residents. I'm praying for this person's family and friends. My dad rides a motorcycle and I worry about him every time he rides. Sorry if accidents like this make it inconvenient for some of you. The growth and traffic is only going to get worse.

Deputies with radar guns now. A dozen tickets Saturday morning and one mandatory court appearance for someone doing 97mph.

If you pass by the intersection of Hwy 98 and County Hwy 83 you may notice a cross that has been put up to remember Dave's untimely death. There is also a vehicle parked some distance South of the intersection on the East right-of-way remembering Dave and asking motorist to slow down and look twice for motorcycles. Dave's funeral services will be tomorrow in Niceville. Please remember the family in your prayers.
