I saw the big flashing sign at quintette indicating it will be closed February 7-8 , but unfortunately no signs up at the 5 point intersection which means a 10 mile drive each way just to find out if the street is open and that will mean an additional 30 mile detour each way for work☹️☹️
There’s a sign at the railroad tracks on quintette that states it will be closed tomorrow at 7 am (Monday, the 7th) but does not say for how long.
Now is the time to four lane Quintette Road. Don’t you think?
Quintette road has Hwy 90 as a detour???? Seriously that is so far out of the way, crossing into different counties and at least 30 miles of extra driving each way for work
Florida has the worst roads and highways I have ever seen in any state that I have lived.
So hard on the vehicles and ridiculous traffic. Most states build the roads and highways before the Sheetrock barn subdivisions
Detroit Blvd is still closed and no matter how many signs they’ve put, the signs are still getting hit and laying crumpled on the side of the road. I don’t know what the answer is for any of this. Those of us who do pay attention appreciate the warnings in advance.
I agree with the above- signage is not too much to ask. There is a long approach to Qintette crossing and it would be totally disruptive to drive all the way to the end at 95a and have to go all the way back… but I am not holding my breath waiting on common sense and courtesy from the road department people who have already used the word “sporadic”. I am asking for signs – not a golden egg from a magical goose. Please surprise me
A sign placed at 5 points on Quintette Road instructing motorist that the RR crossing is closed ahead would be nice rather than driving the ten mile stretch and then having to turn around and go all the way back. Gas is to expensive to be wasting. This seems so logical but I guarantee it wont happen.
Are they going to share their schedule so that we can be prepared?
