If the residents and the county does not want that section of road as a thru-road, then why not close it off completely where 95A intersects 29, making that little section of 95A a Dead End?

What makes the people on that section of 95A so special that they can dictate no trucks allowed, when the rest of us living on this road deal with them all day, everyday? Somebody has got to have a lot of pull or money and connections with the powers that be. Just seems a bit of favoritism going on here.

Hwy. 95A should have been left alone and a wider turn-lane added for 97
intersecting 95A even if only a small widening on either side would
have been needed and hardly noticed.
When resurfacing is needed for 95A and federal funds are received it
would revert to a federal road as in the past. Hwy 95A
was and is a main thoroughfare and should be regarded as so.
It is like the boat ramp that had to be re-designed. If at first you don’t
succeed, try, try again!

Doesn’t matter if it was once a truck route. It hasn’t been for a long time and that was a decision made by and posted by the county. Yet many truck drivers still chose to ignore nose signs and the posted speed limit. Now you want to complain and be a “cry baby” about being forced to obey the traffic laws.

I agree the curve is a bit sharp. But something has to be done about the big trucks that have been flying down the part of 95A that is cleary posted no big trucks. There also need to be inforcment on the speed limit. One mistake by one of these fools and they’ll be in my yard. I would like to feel my children are safe in my front yard. It’s scary to to go check my mail when they won’t even bother to slow down. As far as hurricane access, use 97 to 29. That part of 95A is residential not a hurricane evacuation route.

This is what you get when 2 – 3 people push their personal agenda and noone else chimes in.

It cost owner operators alot of money every year to detour off what you call “your” road, which was a truck through-route long before your birth. If you want a quiet, traffic-less road infront of your home, move into a residential hood. That was the only road for years before you got there. Quit whining and gripeing or move!!!!! YOU BUNCH OF BABIES!!!!!! Next time you want a truckload of dirt or gravel delivered to your house, go get it in your own vehicle…….BABIES!!!!!

You crybabies on 95a complained about the trucks, the same trucks that has hauled everything you own in & around your house…….now, deal with it. I personally think that the way the road dept has fixed it is very, very good!!!!!!

@Phil— Gov’t isn’t the problem though. The problem is all these yankees & yuppies with money moving out here but then wanting more “convenience”, “safety”, when really they want it a little bit more how it was where they came from.
I’ve never had a problem driving around here. My grandmother is 83, lived here all her life, never had a wreck and her first ticket after moving into Pensacola a couple years ago. People complain how dangerous hwy 29 is. It’s not the hwy thats dangerous, it’s the people. Theres too much crap in peoples car nowdays that cause your attention not to be on the road. Weather it’s your car talking to you, freakbooking on your phone, or putting something on tv for kids who demand it cause their not afraid of a backhand.
When banks crash or power grid goes down and the yuppies up the road come calling because they see my vegetables and me skinning meat when they drive by, gonna tell em i have prepared for my family, go ask your phone what to do.
