Deputies: Please slow down on brand-new State Road 9B

SJSO: "The speed limit (on State Road 9B) is 55 mph -- not 80."

Drivers are already driving too quickly on the new State Road 9B extension in St. Johns County, deputies said.

The St. Johns County Sheriff's Department said Thursday that they are concerned about motorist safety on the first full day of useage on the road, which connects I-95 and I-295 to the heavily-populated suburbs of northwest St. Johns County.

Phase 3 of the new State Road 9B opened its northbound lanes on Wednesday. The road, years in the making, extends from I-295 and I-95 in Duval County and is expected to be a key cog in the massive Durbin Creek development off Race Track Road.
