So as I am driving home from the grocery store, I decided to take a slightly different route, as to make a left hand turn out of the store was a near impossibility at that time of day. So I go this different way, and as I pass by one subdivision where the speed limit is 45 on the main road Iwas on, I checked my speed to make sure it was right on. As I make the curve on the outside of this area, where the speed normally goes back up to 55, I was about to tell the geezer in front of me to pull his finger out of his rear and put his foot on the gas when I noticed something wierd. The speed limit sign that has said 55 for the last 2 decades at least now says 45. 45???????? On a rural 2 lane highway? Well, the guy in front of me wasn;t giving me any choice about it, so I went 45. When I got home, I called my dad, who travels that road more often than I do, and he said he hadn't noticed it himself. We both wondered when that happened.
Of course in this area, if you lower the speed limit, then generally that means most drivers are going to go even faster just to spite it.
Hmmm....good thing I noticed the sign--at least I'll be prepared next time---to look to cops as I'm driving!!!!!
