## AUXILIARY LANES
## WHAT ARE AUXILIARY LANES?
An auxiliary lane allows you to travel from one entrance ramp to the next exit ramp without entering the main flow of traffic.
## AUXILIARY LANE BENEFITS
Smoother merging: Gives entering and exiting drivers more room to adjust their speed and merge.
Better traffic flow: Helps keep through traffic moving by separating some merging and exiting movements from the main travel lanes.
Less weaving: Reduces the need for vehicles entering and exiting the interstate to cross paths in a short distance.
Improved connectivity: Provides additional roadway capacity between interchanges and helps manage traffic in busy areas.

## MOVING FLORIDA FORWARD INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE
• The 2023 Florida Legislature approved the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative to address critical state roadway needs.
• FDOT selected key projects, including previously approved but unfunded ones with community support.
• $4 billion from the state surplus is dedicated to accelerate construction and improve safety, congestion, and resiliency.
• The initiative responds to rapid population growth, projected at 1,000 new residents per day for 30 years.
• Investments focus on major interstates and arterial roads to support the movement of people and goods.
• Combined with FDOT's ongoing work program, Florida's five-year transportation budget now totals $66.1 billion.
• In Southwest Florida, this includes the I-75 at Pine Ridge Road Interchange Improvements in Naples, and I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road.
