Scenic 30A and 395 Intersection in Seagrove Beach

[Zebraspots]

I am having a hard time understanding how this would work without rerouting 395 and 30a and severely changing the surrounding houses and businesses.

Seems like a lot of trouble and expense for something that doesn't actually solve the problem.

Making traffic go in a big circle will not reduce the amount of traffic.

..and since we have a new wave of visitors each week in season, they will have to be educated anew until they are comfortable with it. I can guarantee it will slow traffic thru the intersection more than improving it, in spite of what so-called experts say.. I grew up at the Jersey shore and would routinely use the "circles", which were much larger than anything possible at this intersection. You could always tell the tourists from the locals, and I don't mean by their plates.

The Walton County BCC approved this project today.

Traffic Circle at 395 and 30A.

What do you think of the approved traffic circle at 30A and 395? Seems like our county thinks it will keep traffic moving and it will help prevent traffic from backing up at that intersection. Oh, I don't think so!!!

I don't get traffic circles or how they help in any situation.

I really can't see how it will work, especially if the bike path is incorporated into it. One bunch of bicyclers will completely screw up the entire flow of traffic. The only solution, to me, is to detour the bike path sufficiently far away, to Grove Street, to allow vehicular traffic to flow as it should.

Hope they incorporate some spectator seating. We will have some fun watching cars, bikes, and pedestrians try and share a roundabout. The tailgating will be a blast!

I am really looking forward to the construction process - we have traffic issues now, wait until we take away that north/south option!

I have seen some good circles. They have to be big enough so that people can easily keep moving without fear of pulling out while still moving.

The county is considering buying the lots on the northeast corner of 30A and 393 for added Ed Walline access parking. They should go ahead and add a circle there if they get the lot.

I really wish they would work on the intersection of 395 & 98 instead... I get anxiety when I pull up to that intersection...
