I go N & S from South Miami twice a year in my MH pulling a toad.
I never pay any tolls.
Coming S on I75 take exit 329(Wildwood) SR44E 15 miles to US27S
Take US27S all the way to 953S just North of the Airport on East side.
Follow signs for airport.
No tolls and US27 is 4 lane all the way.
I took that route south last year to just north of Homestead, won't do it again. US27 from Wildwood to Lake Okeechobee area was nothing but stop and go through a bunch of small towns. Stop lights every 1/4 mile or less. In a MH pulling a toad it was no fun at all. I'm sure the trip would be a lot nicer in a car, you do get to see more things and US27 is a pretty good road.
I will have to agree with Hank on this one, Hwy 27 from Clermont down to Lake Placid is plagued with many traffic lights, and in some area's just plain congested. Locals around here when headed north in particular avoid that route. I would rather pay a few dollars in tolls than the extra miles, fuel and aggravation of HWY 27 especially during the winter season.
