I drove a different route today, exiting off 237 onto Lawrence Expressway
south and see a 50 mph limit sign on a road that has one less lane, which has
more turns, and far less visibility than Great America Parkway where I was
caught doing 55 in a 40. I will look into the road speed surveys for
Lawrence, G.A.P. and Lafayette, all streets that are parallel to each other
and see what comes up. On my way to work today I traveled down Arques Ave.
which is only 2 lanes in a business sector, which also had a 40 mph limit
sign. How can this be? G.A.P. = 3-4 lanes wide @ 40mph, relatively straight
with good visibility, Lawrence Expressway = 3 lanes wide @ 50mph, more curves
than G.A.P. with worse visibility, and Arques = 2 lanes wide @ 40 mph, worst
visibility, and curves???? Even more perplexed now, after trying to apply
logic to these speed limits.
