From Wikipedia:
State Road 408 (SR 408), officially named the Spessard L. Holland East-West Expressway, is a tolled expressway running east-west through Orlando, Florida, United States. It is owned and operated by the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), except for the westernmost mile (1.5 km), which is owned by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise as a connection to Florida's Turnpike. The road runs from the Turnpike in Gotha, east through downtown Orlando, where it intersects with Interstate 4, ending near State Road 50 south of the University of Central Florida. The road is named for Spessard L. Holland.
A short connection to State Road 417, originally part of the main line of SR 408, is now a spur of SR 408, and is sometimes labeled State Road 4080. The right-of-way where SR 408 once ended at State Road 50 west of State Road 435 (Kirkman Road) was once called State Road 4081. This spur is now a drainage basin.
SR 408 begins at Florida's Turnpike, heading east towards West Colonial Drive (State Road 50) near Ocoee. After the interchange with Good Homes Road (exit 3), the tollway passes through the Hiawassee barrier toll, the first of four mainline toll barriers. From there, SR 408 serpentines eastward through the neighborhoods of Orlo Vista and Pine Hills making major junctions with State Road 435 (Kirkman Road), passing through the Pine Hills barrier toll east of Pine Hills Road, State Road 423 (John Young Parkway), and U.S. Route 441 (Orange Blossom Trail), with the Citrus Bowl being accessible from the Orange Blossom Trail exit. Motorists heading east enter the Orlando city limits at mile marker 8, where they are greeted with a view of the high-rise skyline of Central Orlando. The east-west Expressway makes a major junction with Interstate 4 in Downtown and proceeds eastward to the Conway Toll Plaza, followed by major junctions with State Road 436 (Semoran Boulevard), and State Road 417 (Central Florida Greeneway). The route continues through the Dean Road Toll Plaza and the exits to State Road 434 (Alafaya Trail) and State Road 50 (East Colonial Drive). The tollway's eastern terminus is Challenger Parkway, however Challenger Parkway continues until Alafaya Trail.
SR 408 runs almost entirely parallel to State Road 50 throughout its entire course. At the 408/417 spur is the only location where SR 408 stops running parallel to SR 50 and takes a northeasterly turn which takes it from being parallel to SR 50.
There are four mainline toll plazas on the tollway. Each of them have at least two express lanes dedicated to E-Pass/SunPass for electronic toll collection which do not require motorists to stop at a booth and lanes dedicated to cash collection. Excepting the Mills off ramp, which has only two lanes for exact change, the ramp toll plazas have both a lane dedicated to ETC and a lane dedicated to exact change only with no change provided.
The current toll rates took effect in July 2012.

[@landonvazquez1404]

Great vid! Still pretty messy with construction around that I-4 interchange but everywhere else seems pretty organized

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Thanks!

[@RiveraMichael4567]

@Landon Vazquez: Don't worry, the I-4 Ultamate project is nearing completion.

[@messii_9966]

That section of roadway with the short street lamps is pretty cool. Ik it's like that due to the proximity to the airport.

[@TheloniousJackson]

Short street lamps are common around airports.

[@allthatjazz9000]

Love the Florida videos

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Glad to hear it!

[@nintendospun4126]

Traffic messed up on the highway so I’m just heading to Orlando now

[@skittle6805]

Ready to film on I-16 east in Savanah there's a big huge bridge in I-16 Savanah

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Already filmed it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWqVnXSAfKinjtU

[@skittle6805]

Sure, Thanks!

[@ianclara1702]

I Been to Orlando

[@cdxgg_]

Can you film I 75 in Georgia Valdosta to tifton?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Maybe at some date but not for this trip. I'll be leaving Florida via Alabama rather than Georgia.

[@lamarr912]

Now can you use your NC quick pass as easy pass on the Florida turnpike?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

It looks like the turnpike was SunPass and Pay by Plate from what I saw.

[@Garrettb214]

I think you can, actually. It's not signed as such but I've used my Georgia peach pass in Orlando several times with no issues. In Atlanta, the peach pass is interoperable with NC quick pass and Florida SunPass. I would imagine Florida would be the same way.

[@zombiesandsimgaming7983]

Its not supposed to work normally but from what I hear it does sometimes. All of the tolls within the Orlando area allow most systems as well as Miami. However outside if these areas there is no gurantee.

[@w-josh]

@@Garrettb214 the Peach Pass, Sunpass, and NC Quick Pass are all linked together which means you can use any of them in the 3 states

[@Billboardmister36]

Want to see Land O'Lakes Florida if you can.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

I might be able to get it. I'll be filming cities and suburbs around Tampa Bay in the next few weeks or so.

[@donavanjohnson409]

Great ride on FL-408 tollway U should do a video about TX-99 tollway (grand parkway) that's if you visit Texas again

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Definitely, next time I'm in Houston

[@nintendospun4126]

Eastbound traffic is so backed up that I have no way to drive on FL-408 or I will have to stop at Exit

[@laurenwieland9309]

Mileage Mike, will they demolish the toll booths and put toll gantries up on this thruway?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

I haven't heard of any plans to do so. I'd recommend at least getting the Sunpass to avoid having to stop and pay.

[@laurenwieland9309]

@@MileageMikeTravels They'll have to demolish the toll booths and put toll gantries up if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gets his way.

[@markgreen8667]

You should do like houston and dallas
