Welcome to I-4 the roadway to hell
This is a section of I-4 Nice huh?
I-4 stretches from Orlando all the way to Tampa and I would say about 90% of I-4 looks like this.
Traffic jams accidents shitty looking scenery and nasty looking construction workers.
The irony is that they have posted all along the interstate this nice little sign that says " Speeding Fines Doubled when workers present" and half the times the workers are either sitting around doing nothing or just staring at the traffic as it goes by. Lot of work going on. They should have a new sign put up that says
" Cash given for hitting lazy workers" man I would be a fucking millionaire within a matter of days.
For days on end nothing gets done then a few days here and a few days there you will see sporadic work being done. It mostly gets done at night but then thats when the traffic is worse. Most times night work starts at around 9pm which wouldn't be so bad but thats when people are getting out of the theme parks in Orlando so guess what GRIDLOCK. My fiance works in Orlando and when she has to close her store it takes her roughly 2 hours to get home and the trip is basically only 30 to 35 minutes. To make matters worse the posted speed limit is only 50 mph. Now who the fuck drives at 50 mph on an interstate? Most interstate speeds here are between 65 and 70 mph posted not that anyone drives at those speeds it's normally between 85 and 100 mph just don't get caught. This on going clusterfuck of construction has been going on for a little over 3 years now and it's about time these bastards get on the ball and start doing some fucking work for a change. For every mile of road that is not completed within a certain time frame they should be penalized with a large chunk of their cash taken away from the project. Now I know that most construction workers can't work out in the rain for what ever reason but hey it hasn't rained here that much so far so get those damn orange and yellow striped vests on throw on your fucking hard hats and get to work for fucks sake. People have places to go things to do and people to see and we would like to do it in a timely fashion not at the speed of a snail glued to a fly trap.
Don't even get me started on the construction that is going on in the town that I live in shit it take 30 minutes just to get to the corner store but thats for another day.
BTW there is a link to the left with current I-4 Conditions check it out and you will see what I mean.

We should have a state wide holiday called slap a tourist day that would get things shaken around here. |
