LAKE JESUP, Fla. (WPEC) — It's one thing many people complain about while on Florida highways. No one uses a blinker.

Well, one thing didn't have to when it merged onto a highway in central Florida.

An 11-foot alligator strolled into traffic along Highway 417 in Lake Jesup on Wednesday morning.

The gator caused a traffic jam in the northbound lanes.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office posted photos and media coverage of the gator.

No word yet on the relocation efforts for the highway 'Tail-Gator"
