I-16, so expect local traffic on it. The route follows fairly good secondary roads with various shoulder widths into the city. Traffic increases as you near downtown. The last half-mile of the route winds through three small squares in the historic district. The route south from Atkinson has rough surfaces for several miles.
All roads are two-lane without shoulders, sometimes without clear signing.
The route becomes urban while skirting Jacksonville, and the string of beach communities to the south. Roads in northern Florida are two-lane, generally well surfaced, with somewhat higher traffic levels than found in Georgia. The route ends in downtown Ormond Beach.
