There are parts of the BQE around curves where the speed limit should be 45 or maybe even 40 near Atlantic Avenues. But there are other straight away portions where 55 would be fine if the city speed limit wasn't 50. But the city believes in the lowest common denominator solution. That's why it's 45.It depends how long the 55 mph zone would be. On a limited-access highway, the "lowest common denominator" solution is often the best because traffic slowing down every time the speed limit dropped would cause a shock wave effect that would have all the traffic in the higher speed zone going slower. |
