What the hell is up with people not going the speed limit on this street. It’s a 45 most of the way and people drive 35. If you can’t do the speed limit on the road, stay off of it!!!

Speed limit is the maximum. Is there a minimum posted?

Can’t imagine being so upset about this it needed a thread. Where do you have to be that arriving 5 minutes earlier is a game changer and materially affects your day?

It’s the same thing plaguing the rest of the city, cell phones and an infrastructure so far behind the eight ball that people just cannot get around with any semblance of order or efficiency to save their life. There is no driving with a sense of purpose. It’s just bumbling and fumbling down the road until someone holds up traffic to go across multiple lanes because they forgot they need to turn right instead of go straight.

It’s called speed limit, not speed goal.

Drivers on Hwy 30 are the worst. 55 Speed limit, perfectly straight road & they go 45 and slow to 30 if they see oncoming traffic.

Doing 35 in a 45 cuts the capacity of the road by 22%.

Those 19 down votes to 4 up shows exactly what I am talking about. I don’t make the speed limit- traffic engineers and govt do. If you have an issue with someone riding your bumper bc you can’t drive then go a diff route

funny, the guy that rear ended me when I was 6th in line at the stop light at Kenilworth was doing 65

But that was a year and a half ago, so maybe ppl have slowed down

You are going to have idiots driving over the speed limit anywhere. Doesn’t mean you can’t go the limit

I travel two lane Highland a lot. I try and drive 40-45, but there is a lot of turns, a lot of turning traffic and it’s common to have to slow down because of all that.

I suggest that you leave a few minutes early and chill out. Two lane Highland is a street that you need to be careful while driving.
