I understand the concept of 5 and 6-lane highways with 55 mph speed limits all too well, but I find it very difficult, if not impossible, to believe that setting the speed limit *lower* than the speed limit determined by a traffic study would make the road less safe.
Isn't the purpose of such a study to determine the maximum safe speed?
How does decreasing the speed limit decrease safety?
Honest question, but feel free to call me a "trolltard" or whatever if it helps you get your point across.
