Your traffic control situation seems to occur almost everywhere now - at least
where I have been. I think the biggest cause of these idiotic speed limits, signs, you name it - is that "traffic engineers" who obviously don't drive, try
to set limits for the worst possible driver and everyone else is supposed to
heed them. I have heard of some of their justifications for a 45 mph on a
freeway here (H-3, the newest) that the line of sight is too tight. BS - you could be doing 100 and talking on a cel phone and have plenty of time.
I am sure a lot of these limits, etc cause more accidents than they prevent.
OK, I'm done for now on this rant!
