I think I see you driving around sometimes. Usually in a Nissan or G35

PA's roads can barely handle the traffic needs of today, and you want to increase speeds?

I was going 75 on 83 and a dude blew past me easily doing 100 and passed a state trooper posted up and he did nothing lol

If everyone is going 80 already then the speed limit should be 80.

No, there's a ton of deer, and I don't want to get ran over by dumbasses going fast.

Not to mention the amount of shipping traffic from all the tractor trailers coming off all the warehouses in PA.

Not happening. Maybe chill the fuck out when you're driving and realize the road isn't gonna run away from you.

Increasing speed limit from 55-80 will increase fatalities by 25% as well as reducing MPG by 30%. All so you can can reduce a 15 minute drive by 2 minutes.

Bro my Jetta has seen 40mpg at 80mph. Also, my Jetta is really smooth when I’m cruising at 80+ and the handling is amazing. The only time i slow down is because some dumbass wants to do the speed limit in the left lan

Personally I'm sick of people doing 45 on route 30. Especially people attempting to merge at 35 mph, should be automatic loss of license.

I very nearly got creamed and witnessed a car get run the fuck over by an 18 wheeler because the dumbass merged onto 30 AT 30. So, when it's causing accidents, it needs to be addressed. Had I not been a witness, the police would have treated it as a rear end collision with the trucker at fault, but it was decided to be an unsafe merger.

80 as the speed limit is berzerk. Columbia County's portion of Rte 80 is 70 now and that's working well, but 80mph would be bonkers with the number of tractor trailers around.

Why? Are you one of those guys that likes to tailgate everyone going the limit, but are always too afraid to actually pass them?

Donotaskmedontellme t1_iysn7a4 wrote

I'm sick of people doing 5 under in the passing lane, and seeing brake lights on freeways. There's no stop signs, no lights, don't touch your damn brakes.

With cars and technology today, we should definitely have a higher speed limit. But there’s too many boomers in PA who are always driving under the speed limit.

sure there is. raining? snowing? traffic? all reasons that someone may drive under the limit

I miss lockdowns. i81 was completely empty and I was always doing 100+ to get to work. Cops weren’t pulling anyone over because they were afraid of COVID. But you’re right, when it all lifted, accidents were through the roof!

Also with the boomers on this one too.

People drive like they're not in fast moving vehicle that weighs several tons.

[deleted] OP t1_iyslwyy wrote

Can’t count how many times I had to avoid a boomer because they drift into my lane with no signal and then slow down, they don’t look when they merge. They’re fucking clueless. It’s like a 17yo learning how to drive expect they drive so fucking slow.

Sorry I don't want my fight or flight instinct triggered by some dipshit who thinks they're hot shit for going 100+

Maybe slow down and you won't have to worry about being in a potentially fatal crash? These things are not out of your control.

I design highways as a career. Roads are designed for a specific speed and you can’t arbitrary increase the speed limit especially if the geometry doesn’t meet the criteria for that speed.

Low-Public-9948 t1_iysnkhy wrote

I could see highways going to 70, but 25-35 speed limits are generally only where more foot traffic is. Maybe if everyone wasn’t in such a hurry and could relax a little, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Even if you got a nice maintained whip you got to consider what other people are driving (hoop D, dump truck, school bus.)
