Re: Solve speeding by limiting cars!

Until a few months ago, our federal speed limit was 55 (hell of a long
temporary limit, eh?)... Recently, our new gov't saw fit to allow a
speed limit of 65mph, and if what I saw in a national newspaper was
correct, we may get to see 70!
Most 2-lanes in the Pennsylvania area are 25 mph, and urban 4-lanes are
35.
Unfortunately, while some states have allowed 65 on a lot of their
roads, PA only lets us have it on "rural interstates", where there's
less of a need to move large volumes of vehicles quickly... Most of our
heavily congested roads are still 55.
