    Florida Park Drive N Traffic Count

    Just curious why Florida Park Drive, a residential street, was not reported on when FDOT reports that it has 8,600 cars per day and 645 trucks per day. Florida Park Drive, residential street, has more traffic than the non-residential Old Kings Road and Palm Harbor Parkway. It just seems odd when reporting on high use road that the report omitted the only residential road with a high traffic count. WHY?
