Englebert Partytimer's opinion on roads/speeds is far more informed than is John Delgado's.

I've been on Staring a ton lately, the speed limit is ridiculously slow at 35, the new widening blighted with countless Wrong Way signs..it's as if the street were built for a small-bus society.

Delgado is progressive enough to fight for the new cab system, yet will still pander to a few retarded remarks/requests of uninformed residents near a major thoroughfare?

Speedy, I feel your pain!

Old Hammond is a major arterial for the city. Staring Lane is not. Staring was widened because it needed the upped capacity to handle the demand, and the design speed is 45 MPH in case the need arises for it to be posted higher than it currently is posted at 35 MPH. Staring Lane could be upgraded to a major arterial once it's extended to LA 30.


Now we talking. So a road classified as residential CAN be over 35mph if it's deemed a principal arterial ? Interesting.
This clears up all my questions. Because I also know Highland road is 45 between Siegen and 10 and I see why now. Thanks

Needed to be raised badly. There have been some bad accidents along that corridor the last year.

I used to live down there off Staring. Sets up well to catch people. Do not be the guy in the front of the pack
