Article in Orlando Sentinel about the biggest changes in the area. The new 1-4 toll system looks a massive project, starts 2015 completes 2020. Don't think I will b using it at $13 a pop.

The toll will help stop the I4 being a car park.

I agree will not be paying the $13 either

Never had a problem with I4 but I don't use it a great deal, we usually stay at LBV/Palm Parkway area so use Turkey lake road more than I4. Obviously there is a problem to be starting a project like that.

In our experience, the 'car park' problems are more when you start to get North of Universal towards downtown Orlando.

That will be why I have never seen the problems. Done a trip to Georgia, another to Daytona and a visit to Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, can't think of going north of Universal apart from those 3 maybe 4 times.
Ohh a few trip to Cheescake Factory, Millenia.
So looks like this new I4 will be aimed at locals going into Orlando centre rather than the themepark trade.

Last year we got caught a few times in stationary traffic, westbound on the approach to Crossroads exit
