It’s the worst stretch of interstate I’ve ever experienced in terms of needless delays, poorly planned exits and almost certain stoppage. And keep in mind, that’s coming from someone who grew up on I95, mostly in south Florida. You can almost guarantee an extra 20-30 on your commute time specifically from the first Ocala exit, 27. Dreadful. And for whatever reason, it seems to completely clear up where the Tpike goes off at Wildwood. I was amazed at how easy 75 became south of there en route to Tampa. It’s a different interstate.
Also, if you’ve driven from the south on 75 into Gainesville recently, don’t even think about parking on the right side of the highway just north of Payne’s Prairie. Don’t even think about it.
Don’t even think about it.
Don’t even think about it.
I mean it. Don’t even think about it.
