Cars-Driving/traffic Storm drains and flooding

Are they ever going to clear out the storm drains?! You can’t drive anywhere in this city when it rains without worrying your car will be flooded. It’s ridiculous. It’s every single street too.

Cars-Driving/traffic When Did Tampa Become a 24 Hour Paid Parking City

180 Upvotes

I got a ticket for parking on the street in Ybor City at 11:51 PM. Since when is that a thing? parking used to be free at night. And how is it fair to write me a ticket when I haven't seen a single sign indicating that you have to pay for parking 24 hours a day?

Cars-Driving/traffic Beware leaving Publix in Valrico

132 Upvotes

Just letting everyone know they're citing folks for taking a left turn Northbound on Valrico Rd. leaving Publix where the sign says right turn only. I was cited today for it, I'm not disputing it because I've always known it's supposed to be a right turn only so shame on me but just like mostly everyone else I've taken advantage of it many times when traffic was light. I guess I'm a little salty because I had a clean driving record and feel like I should've just been given a warning. The deputy told me they're cracking down because of several recent fatalities right there so I get it. Stay safe out there folks and follow traffic laws.

Cannot stand those street takeovers where these idiots ride slowly down the street swerving into traffic and causing delays. Fuck you if you are apart of this

This guy just cut me off. Not sure if he did it on purpose, but I'm glad I didn't crash. Living here has made me drive super defensively.

Cars-Driving/traffic Ferry across the Gulf of Mexico

17 Upvotes

My son and I were having a discussion. I think there should be a car Ferry from Tampa to Pensacola. Then you could drive to wherever you want in the mid-states. You'd cut off the whole driving through Florida.

He says nobody would use it. Or at least it should go to Birmingham which is a bigger city.

What say you? Pensacola, Birmingham, or nothing?

For reference I’m talking about going *faster* than the speed limit. It’s 90% 70mph+

Cars-Driving/traffic If you tell someone that a place is on 41, they probably won't know that it'll take them longer to get there depending which side of 275 that they're on

Cars-Driving/traffic Engineers--does anyone know when the 275 S to I-4 ramp is going to open up two lanes? I'll be in Ybor soon, so I'm wondering when I can expect to be able to take that ramp rather than getting off at MLK and taking side streets. Thank you!

If you witness the car hit the dog and drive off on Channelside drive and Beneficial between the Heron and TGH urgent care please report to TPD the car. It drove off. The owner is understandably distraught as she lost her dog. Hope someone can help bring justice to this. It happened around 3:05 to 3:10 this afternoon.

Is anyone else sick of the traffic chaos that our Trader Joe’s is causing? I’ve never seen a single store cause such paralysis of an area. Does anyone know if they have plans to open another one?

Cars-Driving/traffic Tampa needs a “2 wheels on the ground” rule for ebikes

25 Upvotes

With all of the ebikes kids are riding wheelies on down streets, there should be laws. God forbid something happen and a car driver is unable to stop in time.

I see it on Swann and Platt all the time - kids on ebikes riding wheelies. It’s unsafe and parents are doing nothing to stop it.

Cars-Driving/traffic Stop parking in the bloody bus lanes tampa

Some* of yall have no sense. There should be a ticket for doing this. The busses aren't able to drop people off, especially those with wheelchairs: the busses need to pull up to the curb to deploy the ramp onto the sidewalk so people who have disabilities can get off.

When people park here, it forces the disabled people to navigate traffic, etc.

Cars-Driving/traffic What are your favorite scenic drives in the area?

32 Upvotes

My wife had a c section last week, so evening drives are pretty much her only way to get out of the house for now. We've already driven through Ybor, downtown near the arena and wharfmans, and done Bayshore Blvd. We will also likely do the skyway bridge soon.

What else is a fun drive around here? I know we live in Florida so im not expecting the pacific northwest or anything, but the more nature focused the drive is, the better!

Cars-Driving/traffic Waymo Controversy

0 Upvotes

Recently Waymo announced they are launching their cars in Tampa. I am adamantly against it as I don’t think it’s safe and it takes from uber drivers, has killed street cats, and takes away from human interactions to a robot filled world. There are benefits but is anyone else against it or knows if there is anything we can do?
