Should have then walked into the station and let them know about the idiot out in the parking lot, license plate number and all
The six speed in my GTO loves the highway. Faster the better. At 65 - 70 my rpms are like 1800 - 1900. Car gets 24mpg highway. Not bad for a 6.0 and a car weighing 3900lbs.
new rule: remove all 4 way stops and put traffic circles everywhere. I've never seen anyone have a problem with those.
I prefer driving Miss September to Miss DaisyI would prefer everyone driving at a speed limit of 55.
I mean that I wish the speed limit were 55mph, period. And everyone observed it.
I would be happy if people just learned to observe the current speed limits.
And watch people cry over the raising of taxes or increasing deficits to pay for it. Everyone wants everything but nobody wants to pay for it. Not to mention that I'm sure that there is plenty of room at every 4 way stop to throw in a traffic circle.
Wait, you have intersections with all STOP signs? That's weird. What happened with normal intersection with one main road and one secondary road? Those are the best.
Yes and the person who invented them is worse than Hitler.
You'll be lucky to get across that intersection in less than 20 minutes in rush hour.
Nope. The only thing unsafe are flocks of dozens of cars bunched up and unable to move because half a dozen oblivious drivers spread out doing 40 in a 55 and hell bent on claiming the road as their own.
Try as I might to stay in my lane and maintain a steady speed and avoid excessive lane changes, there are assholes in every lane with 15 cars behind and a mile of empty road ahead. These are also the people oblivious to their rear view mirror who slam their brakes at the last possible second and come to a complete stop to make their turn in a 45+ area, or occupy two lanes for half an hour as they ride their brake and drift into the left turn lane going 15 mph for three blocks.
These are the people that cause accidents, not the 15 people maintaining a constant 65+ who are alert and staying out of each others way. Tailgating and pile ups are caused by slow traffic, not fast traffic.
Uh, that's what the crosswalks are for. People are supposed to YIELD to the pedestrians in the crosswalks.

Yes and the person who invented them is worse than Hitler. A lot of the time it's at important intersections in residential areas that are 2 lanes in each direction and they back up as far as the eye can see during rush hour.
This is not my picture, but it shows what I'm talking about. Notice how this intersection is not in some farm area where houses are 20 miles apart. The houses in this picture are in a normal residential area. Hundreds of houses feed onto these residential roads, every house has a car feeding into the four way stop. You'll be lucky to get across that intersection in less than 20 minutes in rush hour.
65 MPH = 70-80 in reality.
80 MPH = 85-95 in reality.
The only time I stick around the speed limit is during traffic.
The way to make people cross is to force everyone to stop?thats because people might actually need to cross the main road.
Same can be said for the obnoxious assholes who do 20 over the limit and get pissed at you for only doing 15 over the limit. I had a dickhead in a full size chevy van get as close to my bumper as he could last week to try and push me along.... I was doing 78 in a 65 and moving by the slow lane traffic at a decent rate. I always get in the slow lane if it is open and there is plenty of run between me and the next cluster of traffic. I tapped my brakes to have him back off, and he turned into Mr. Road Rage... I'll save you the rest of the story, but it involved the state highway patrol.

The rest of the world has figured out how basic math and common sense work. If you don't need to stop as often, you arrive sooner. Here a video showing you how they work:
The difference is that here he's not supposed to stop. At a 4 way, you stop like 30 times before you get through.
65 MPH = 70-80 in reality.
80 MPH = 85-95 in reality.

That's not true. Before raising I-15 to 80 in Utah they did traffic studies for a couple years and found that once you set it at 80 people were more likely to do 80 and not go higher. When it was set lower people did go faster, but 80 seemed to be the sweet spot in Utah.
