SANFORD, Fla. – There’s a new traffic pattern on State Road 46 in Seminole County, and it’s causing confusion for some drivers.

The shift in lanes takes place from French Avenue (U.S. 17-92) to Mellonville Avenue.

Designated left turn lanes are now through lanes for drivers going east and west on S.R. 46.

The new traffic pattern is for a Florida Department of Transportation project that the state projects will improve safety and operations along S.R. 46.

The project involves the following key changes:

  • sidewalk expansions to 10 feet to improve pedestrian mobility and accommodate bicycles

  • a new bicycle lane to connect the existing one on Mellonville Avenue

  • the extension of turn lanes to accommodate higher traffic volume

  • raised medians near several intersections along S.R. 46

The project also includes drainage improvements and upgraded curb ramps to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
