Description

Absolutely baffled how bad the congestion has gotten and the lack of immediate relief the city, county and state are doing about this well known issue. Hate to burst your bubble but IF the large roadway projects like this century long gateway project ever get done...that is not going to fix the insane bumper to bumper gridlock that we face 24/7 no matter what time of day it is. I am so saddened by how backwards and lazy everyone is when it comes to QUICKLY realizing the issues and addressing them without years and years of red tape excuses and back and forth banter. I just got back from multiple state trips and they all have way better infrastructure and so sad that everyone that heard I was from Florida all said....oh no, your roads and congestion are the worst...why can't your state wake up and fix it....VERY GOOD QUESTION. Ulmerton Rd between 34th St N and 49th St N....DISASTER!!!!! Left lane drivers...mostly large CDL trucks NOT moving over out of the left passing lane and NO ENFORCEMENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. Gridlock, both the east and west lanes have lanes that end forcing so so so many cars to all merge is the MAJOR REASON the gridlock is happening and you all refuse to take out and relocate a very small piece of useless curb at the southeast corner of Ulmerton and 34th St N that would allow all the traffic on Ulmerton eastbound trying to cram onto Roosevelt Blvd southbound to flow efficiently but this state has NO clue how to move all the cars efficiently...unsure what everyone actually does on a daily basis. The absolutely insane backup of THOUSANDS of cars each light cycle for cars on Roosevelt Blvd trying to enter Ulmerton westbound at 34th St N is mind boggling and the green light does not even stay green long enough to move the cars already stacked up...yet way less cars are waiting on 34th St N...the masses on Ulmerton NEED to move and NEED more green light time. Please @#$% No Trucks Left Lane on Ulmerton between 34th St N and US-19, Roosevelt Blvd between Lake Carillon Dr and Gandy Blvd and Gandy Blvd between 4th St N all the way onto the Gandy bridge...the left lane hogging and no enforcement is a MAJOR issue and no one is acting on it...we will have to take carte of these issues ourselves for our own safety if someone else will not. All traffic lights on Ulmerton are jacked up, timing is horrible, cars can barely move, trucks refuse to get out of the passing lane...what a flipping mess this road and the others I listed are butt nothing is CURRENTLY being done...shocker so lets keep up the lack of work so other states can look at us and laugh how jacked up our roads and congestion are....glad our tax dollars are being wasted yet again.
