Re: Comments from Mr. Traffic



This is Mr. Roadshow,  from the San Joses Mercury News. Back when the
speed limit was 55 on ALL roads, the california highway patrol was among
the leaders in pushing for the 65 mph limit on rural interstates. The CHP
czar says he's willing to look at higher limits on some roads, but not
those in urban areas. Of interest in the Bay Area is I-280 from Cupertino
to south of S.F. where the unofficial speed is 75-plus. This would be a
good area to test at a higher limit for a year, see if accidents rise or
nopt and then decide what to do on freeways technically in urban areas but
more with wide open spaces
