Interstate 75 In Florida
Interstate 75 (I-75) is a part of the Interstate Highway System and runs from Hialeah, Florida, a few miles northwest of Miami to Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I-75 begins its national northward journey in Hialeah, running along the western parts of South Florida before traveling westward across Alligator Alley, resuming its northward direction in Naples, running along Florida's Gulf Coast, passing the cities of Ft. Myers, Port Charlotte, and the Tampa Bay Area, before turning inward towards Ocala, Gainsville and Lake City before leaving the state and entering Georgia.
The total length of I-75 in Florida is 471 miles (758 km), making it the longest Interstate Highway in Florida, and maintains a speed limit of 70 mph (110 km/h) for its entire length in Florida. For FDOT inventory purposes, it is designated as SR 93 for most of its length in Florida (with exception to the Tampa Bay area, where SR 93 follows I-275, while SR 93A travels with I-75 in the latter's bypass of the area).

“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
