As I come to the city line there is a sign warning 30 mph ahead. A few more yards there is an actual 30 mph speed limit sign.
I don’t need a sign to tell me that the city speed limit is 30 mph. I don’t need a sign to know WHERE the 30 mph speed limit starts.
My vehicle doesn’t weigh THOUSANDS of TONS. I am not carrying the public.
If my normal route had been modified, I would familiarize myself with the changes and speed limits BEFORE I sped down the tracks.
OH! I just now read ...
“In the five weeks before the crash, the engineer, whose name hasn’t been released, had completed seven to 10 “observational trips” in a locomotive on the new stretch of track, the NTSB said. He had also completed three trips in which he was operating the locomotive.
C’mon man... are you buying this? I missed the speed limit sign????
Maybe the sign was not in ebonics?
Or, that he didn’t have a mileage/cheat card with the big slow-down hazard spots clearly marked?
