Palmetto expressway, speed limit 20MPh (Sunset: credit, construction, average)

If you travel this wonderous road of construction, it makes you wonder why any speed limit signs are necessary. While you may be traveling at speeds of up to 70Mph when you get on it by I-75, you will slow to a blistering 2-5 MPh by NW 36 st. Even though construction is complete south of the 836 the delays seem to get longer and longer. By the time I get off at Sunset drive, the average speed works out to 15-20 MPh. I was hoping that all that construction would help, but the traffic is worse than ever. With no more room to expand, I guess this is it? What amazes me is that they still do not have a quick way to clear accidents. Even more amazing is that there are accidents on a road with no interesctions!

Even at this time there are delays. I do give Florida credit for the real-time traffic info website though.
