Limited access roads with higher speeds have proven safer than two lane roads with driveways and traffic lights where the speed is slightly lower.And yes they are designed for slightly higher speeds of five or ten mph to provide a cushion of safety. That doesn't explain designing a road for 70 mph with a maximum allowed speed of 50. Skeptics believe this is done just so people will speed so that revenue can be obtained by localities. Someone told me he recently received a speeding ticket in Georgia because he was going at 83 mph. The officer instructed him to sign that he was doing 85 mph. He told the officer but I wasn't doing 85 mph. When he got home he found out my the officer insisted he admit to 85 mph. The fine for 83 mph was $225. The fine which he had to pay after admitting to 85 mph was $425. Now you tell me if the locality there was more concerned about safety or revenue. |
