[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no reason for that stretch of highway to be rated at 45 mph. In fact on some stretches I think it is 40. This designation has nothing to do w/ public safety; rather, the lower the limit the more $$ DC can make on drivers driving at a reasonable speed for a limited access highway. After getting my ticket here, I drove dead on the speed limit, and it created a very unsafe situation as everyone around me was flying past. When on a highway, there is a [reasonable] expectation by all drivers that speeds will be between 50-60 mph. This stretch of highway should be no different - there are no short merges or sharp turns to necessitate otherwise. If DC wants to slow it down (for safety, of course!) then they should put in a light.[/quote] If you're talking about the SE/SW Freeway, there's every reason for that stretch of highway to be rated 45 mph. It's a tangle of merges, some with no merge area. Just because most people are being unsafe assholes, doesn't mean there's a "reasonable expectation" of anything. See that white sign with the black numbers on it that says "Speed Limit 45 MPH"? Let that guide your "expectations". Stop whining, slow down, or pay up.[/quote]
