Except for overnights, how often can you go 70 on the Belt long enough to save more than a minute or two?I thought about this recently, and came to this conclusion: if by going faster for 2 minutes, you pass 30 cars, that's 30 cars behind you when you hit a lane reduction merge. Every one of those cars that is not able to keep up with traffic is additional time saved, since you are now in front of them. The simplest version of this problem is this: 2 lanes are about to become 1 with no shoulder. Whether you've passed the truck who must drive extra slow due to the clearances is the difference between getting through this zone at 50 and getting through it at 30. |
