A Couple of Road & Highway Comments
I’m curious, you know when you drive on the expressway and you want to head to Cambridge or the 401. When you hit the “fly over” to the 401 the posted speed limit is 60K; have you ever seen anyone drive that slowly….ever? What a joke, the other day I slowed down to 75K and there was a truck and a car in my back seat!!! They were honking at me! A better question would be; have you ever slowed down to the posted speed limit on that “fly over”? I’ll bet, like me, you haven’t…..you’ll get killed! While I’m at it I’d like to point to the most logical place in the world for a “roundabout”. I travel to my parents home in London through Tavistock always. I’ve gone through that five corner intersection a hundred times or more in their wonderful town and every time I get there, I’m still confused. I honestly never remember who has the right of way! If there was ever an intersection that cried out for a “roundabout” this is it!
