Re: Train was going 80MPH in 30MPH zone

If 80 is the idea;, the speed limit outside city areas (where ROW had to work around lots of buildings) should be raised to at least 75 then - with a minimum speed of 55. In areas where congestion or weather might make that unsafe at certain times, use variable speed limits like the NJ Turnpike - drop the number when necessary. They could probably even have a computer algorithm figure it out.

Some NYC-area highways have people flying by at 70-80 with no issues, except the people doing the 50 MPH speed limit. The 30MPH speed difference becomes the danger. Raising the speed limit when traffic is light makes everything safer.
