Have you ever tried to go that slow? It's painful. You're basically idling.
Whoever allowed all of those residential driveways to have direct connections to Bluebonnet is a fricking moron. A 30mph speed limit on a 4-lane, divided highway is absolutely laughable.

Should be lower IMO. That curve is horrendous.
It's really not. It's not a "horrendous" curve by any means. 60 would suit it just fine IMO. But I get why the SL is lower there though.

Agreed, which is why 35 mph on Staring is gonna suck now that they've opened that new construction up. And cops are already having a field day with it...I saw one pulling people over the first week it was opened. Even Essen Lane, with all its driveways and businesses and lights and shite, is 45 mph.

You can thank our wonderful politicians for putting pressure on the road and traffic engineers for that (and all similar traffic issues). The developers go to them and then they squeeeeeeel like a pig til they get what they want.

Which reminds me--has anyone noticed any new speed limit signs up on Staring since it fully opened? Not sure what it's supposed to be there. It's so easy to drive 45 on it now, but I know there are sometimes cops sitting in one of the church parking lots.
ETA: nevermind, I see Cocomo's post.
