HNewbie,
As a matter of intrest...
The Orlando traffic nightmare is a direct result of years worth of highway funds being diverted to South Florida. For many years Orlando suffered from not having strong representation in the State Legislature, whereas South Florida dominated it. All of the highway funding was thus sent to South Florida, and Orlando was left to stew in its traffic jams. Now, Orlando has sprawled so much that there is no place avialable to build new highways, and the citiy says that they can't afford them - yet they still work to entice people to migrate into the area. Its a real mess. Daytona is much smaller, and we have very little here in the way of industry, manufacturing, etc., and so we don't have a million people a day all trying to go to work on one four lane road.
