All I have to say is get up in time and give yourself extra time to make it to work. Anything can happen and make you late. Just like train on track in Cantoment. People with sense will alot for this. I bet you're the one running up on my car as I obey speed limits. On another note my prayers are with every family from this tragic accident.

At 40mph it takes to long to get to Pensacola and Atmore. That causes drives to have to pass any time they can find a spot. Plus the slower drivers will speed up when you start to pass causing accidents. 4 lanes won't help, slow drivers in both lanes instead of staying in the right hand lane, they do that for miles on Hwy 29.

We were walking buddies. I will miss her so much but I know I will see both of them again in heaven because they had put their trust in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. I am praying for the family as they go through this very difficult time. Let's remember that the Bible says that God is our help in times of trouble! May He give this family the strength and comfort they need at this time. Yesterday, I lost a sweet friend and her precious daughter. We were walking buddies.

Every day I see people passing 2-4 cars at once, in no passing zones. FDOT needs to do something. It’s sad to see this, 97 is the worst, least safe road I’ve ever commuted on.

(Strict enforcement of speed limits) Reckless driving (passing, crossing center line, leaving roadway). (It's up to the drivers, that means every driver, not just the other driver.) Rumble strip on center and double to quadruple center width needed. (FDOT design and engineering) The other suggestion is something that Mississippi seems to be doing more of. Rural crossroad round-a-bouts at state and county road intersections with lower traffic volume. (No, not at SR 97 and US 29. Too much volume there.) Speed limits inadequately enforced.
