On my way home on Monday and Tuesday there were cops in both lanes just cruising at 30 mph to control traffic. The line of cars behind them was absurd. This alone should show people that 30 mph is going to cause problems. ---

This accident bolsters my support for the death penalty for all pedophiles. This dude should of been taken out back and shot awhile ago but instead these sickos always get off easier than small time pot dealers. ---

How much time does this add to that 3.6 mile stretch of road? 4 minutes? ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > How much time does this add to that 3.6 mile stretch of road? 4 minutes? When traffic is backed up all the way up to the 33 which it was yesterday at 4:00 it ads like 15 minutes. IT took me 5 minutes just to get to parkside. I am assuming it cleared up a bit after that but I could be wrong and it could be a 20 minute delay. ---

I forgot about that light at Main. Gross. Maybe you should all move to Michigan where people drive about 20 % higher than the speed limit. Actually, reducing the speed limit or number of lanes is about the only way to get a Michigander worked up. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > How much time does this add to that 3.6 mile stretch of road? 4 minutes? Assuming a single car going from 50mph to 30mph it only changes it by 2.6 minutes. And that’s why people that don’t understand physics are going “what’s the big deal?” The problem is that’s not how traffic flow works AT ALL. When you take the three lane 33 with a 55mph limit and the 2 lane 190 with a 55mph limit and use them to feed traffic onto the 2 lane 198 expressway with a 30mph limit you get a giant clusterfuck. It’s like having two garden hoses filling a small bucket. As soon as you stop taking the water out of the bucket as fast as it’s coming in the bucket overflows. That overflow is going to end up on Parkside and Main and then all these people on Parkside that were bitching for lower speed limits on the 198 are going to change their tune in a hurry. ---

Damn hopefully nobody gives them that math equation to solve for increased traffic time they would save millions on traffic studies each year. ---

Are people now going to just drive through the city streets because they have the same limit? That would be less safe for kids, I would think. ---

I agree with the barriers but this guy fell asleep at the wheel. I don’t even know if I heard if he was speeding. He may have hit that family at 25 mph. I will be purposely avoiding that stretch now and will speed down side streets, since all the cops will be pulling pace car duty over there. ---

That 198 is a bag of shit no matter what the speed limit is. I drive it a few times a week, and it sucks. In either direction. Mostly due to assholes getting off onto Delaware going westbound, backing traffic up. Same thing goes for dicks trying to get onto the 33 heading eastbound toward the airport. Fucking reminds me, I’ll be traveling eastbound on it tomorrow morning around 9:30-10. I’ll be driving over 50 down it like I do all the rest of the time. FYI, today there was a state trooper in the westbound right lane shooting radar. It was a work zone, I’m sure they were installing truck stopping barriers. ---
