TRAFFIC TIPS FOR JULY 3

• Disabled parking is available in the parking lot near Festival Drive and Central Parkway and in a designated area in the Altamonte Mall parking lot north of the AMC theaters. Disabled access is available in Cranes Roost Park. Disabled seating is available first-come, first-served at the top of the Eddie Rose Amphitheater.

• Traffic exiting I-4 at S.R. 436 (eastbound and westbound) will only be able to turn right onto S.R. 436 beginning at 8 p.m. (time is subject to change).

• Traffic on the eastbound I-4 Express lanes exiting at Central Parkway will be directed to turn left (west) onto Central Parkway at 8 p.m. (time is subject to change).

• In general, making a right turn is easier than making a left turn. In many places, left turns and U-turns are restricted after the fireworks.

• Sometimes, it’s better to take the longer route around the most congested areas before heading toward your final destination.

• Use the map and consider how you are required to turn before deciding where to park.

• If you find yourself making a turn you didn’t plan on, you can make a turn toward your destination on another major road in about two to three miles. Consider an alternate route in advance.

• For the best travel results, use the map to pick alternate routes that flow away from the I-4/S.R. 436 area.

• The fireworks end around 10 p.m. and most traffic routes are flowing normally by 11:30 p.m.
