Motorists driving west on U.S. 441 (S.R.500/S.R.44) wanting to go south on S.R. 500A (Old U.S. Hwy. 441) will need to turn right onto S.R. 19.
Motorists driving south from North Lakeshore Boulevard wanting to continue going south will have to turn right at U.S. 441 and then proceed to make a U-turn to merge onto Lakeshore Blvd towards S.R. 19.
