Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Jim Noble]

The Intercounty Connector has yet to see a fatal crash. Raising the speed limit from 55 mph to 60 mph would shave 90 seconds on an end-to-end trip

What is the actual average speed? Bet it's 70+.

The higher speed limit will affect something like 2 people per day, based on my understanding of how much the road is used.

Raising the speed limit would impact revenues from traffic enforcement, so it will be kept at 55.

People regularly travel 70 to 80 mph on that piece of highway in spite of the heavy LEO presence.

"That study concluded there is a potential to raise the limit, but it also concluded we must do a detailed crash analysis," says Bartlett.

Two years to determine if they can raise the speed limit 5mph. Maryland is such the nanny state.

Is the speed limit higher anywhere than 55 in MD?

Good God, they actually built this thing. It was still just Metro page fertilizer in the Post when I left.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
