Last time in Nov 2019 the inside lane was for straight on to Legacy and right to 27 north. Left lane was 27 south. Surprised to see tonight that inside lane is now right turn only. Didn't dare push in to the left lane so ended up going north to Polo and doing a U turn.

Spotted a new school on FVGR as well near Bahama Bay

Those lanes only changed a few weeks ago. I don't go that way very often but was surprised to see the new traffic light at Westside school still isn't on yet. Apparently wint be until December.

That new school is yet another charter school in Polk County. A bit like academies outside local authority control in the UK. Polk seems to have a thing against building traditional public schools controlled by the county school district.

Friday night traffic is definitely the worst around here. There is no school for Thanksgiving all next week so that might help abit. Plenty of tourists around though.
