[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am curious as to what determines speed limits. Seeing how it's 30 in my residential neighborhood road and 25 on GA in Wheaton. I would expect the reverse, 25 in a neighborhood and 35 on a major road. [/quote] Reluctance to fix anything. Thanks to GPS, people have discovered that you can cut through neighborhoods to save time. Because no one (apparently) wants to make the main roads more passable by increasing speed limits or increasing the sizes, people prefer these routes. So local neighborhoods ask for traffic calming measures. Which forces more people back onto the main roads making the roads more dangerous with increased traffic. To make the main roads safer, we lower the speeds but don't make the road wider. So now it has less capacity. So people route through local neighborhoods. Repeat. [/quote]
