Won’t that cut into speeding ticket revenue?

WV has had 70 all the time. DC beltway goes 80+... but not the signs, just the traffic!

Good!

It could be 80mph, and it wouldn’t matter. Many of the folks drive that fast on I81 anyway....

I got a ticket two years ago on I-81. Even though I was going 75mph, I had trucks passing me on the left and the right.

I don’t know, I had a hard time following a Porsche up 81 in my pickup truck. Even worse was trying to keep up with a Corvette in VW up one of those mountains at about 90 in a V-6 Accura.

People who fret about highway speed and related rates of injury and death never take into account the time by motorists. When the speed limit for my local commute was raised to 70 mph, I saved an hour a month. The speed limit change gave me one more day per year.

If we apply some of the simple valuation techniques that are used to justify government projects, the value of the minutes shaved are immense. It is time to take this economic fact into account when setting speed limits.

In NJ, they have stretches that are 65 instead of 55, but they double the fine so they still can collect the same revenue.

You mean they’re actually done with the road construction to make this possible?!

HAHAHAHA! I thought the speed limit was 85 there already. At least that seems to be the ambient speed.
