JSO traffic warnings for Florida/Georgia game

JSO is providing WOKV with traffic plans for the Florida Georgia game next weekend.

If you're coming down in an RV, RV City opens Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. City sports and entertainment director Alan Verlander says there are already RVs lined up on Talleyrand waiting to get into the parking lot.

If you're driving in, Propper says traffic is going to be bad  so get there early if you're actually going to the game and want to be in your seat for kickoff. If you don't have a parking pass, you'll have to use general parking because otherwise it's going to be limited. Bay St. will run like it normally does for football games, with three lanes heading toward the stadium and one away before the game and then all four lanes heading away from the stadium following the game.

"The secret here is you have to come about five hours early," says Propper.

And he says take public transportation like the water taxi or JTA shuttles if possible. JTA's website has more information on ticket prices, pickup and dropoff locations, and schedules for those shuttles.

You're encouraged to follow JSO's Twitter page @JSOPIO, where they will be tweeting real-time traffic and congestion updates on game day.
