Insider Tips
Speed Trap Central: Lake City and Columbia County are notorious for aggressive traffic enforcement. Local and state police frequently patrol I-75 here, especially near the US-90 exits. Stick strictly to the speed limit, even if traffic is flowing faster.
Traffic Bottleneck Timing: I-75 through Lake City gets congested Friday afternoons/evenings and Sunday afternoons with seasonal snowbird traffic (Nov-Apr). If possible, pass through early morning or late evening to avoid delays.
Last Cheap Gas Before the Turnpike: If you're heading south toward Orlando/Miami, fill up here. Gas prices jump significantly once you get closer to the Florida Turnpike and South Florida. Lake City stations are often 20-30 cents cheaper per gallon.
Emergency Tip: If you have car trouble, the exits at US-90 (exits 427/423) have the most services - mechanics, tire shops, and hotels. It's a much better place to have issues than the more rural stretches north or south of town.
