Casper Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 In the comments, they talk about east side also. So I have no idea. I'm pretty sure that article said East side when I posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Oh well, I use 670 most of the time. If it gets real bad I'll just stay on I270 all the way around to get to IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I doubt this speed limit change will have much affect on how fast people drive. Seems like everyone runs 10-20 over the speed limit as it is. I am not too concerned about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I get on at Livingston and take the split north nearly every day. Heading west, traffic is rarely moving faster than 60 as it is. Not usually backed up, but not real fast either. Now heading east out of the split, that will be where I get my tickets. It opens up nicely.

Wadepenn Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Must be the speed limit... No other factors could account for accidents... Like distracted drivers with cell phones, makeup, books, gps, egtc. Or the bad design of a sweeping switchback on a incline/decline. and how many drivers would fail the Ohio drivers test again? Most drivers in columbus can't even comply with the speed limit, let alone all the other traffic signs! Plus +1 to the autobahnNeg -1 to our dysfunctional interstate sytem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't know why they haven't adopted more of those changeable speed limit signs.If there's traffic, it may legitimately be safer for everyone to go 55 - shorter stopping distance should mean fewer rear-end collisions.But at off-peak hours, there's no reason it shouldn't be 60 or 65 (or 75, or 80...).Silly. The turnpike recently UPPED the speed limit to 70 mph. With 12" wheels on the trailer, that's about as fast as I dare go anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
