With the current 55 mph, you can go 60 & not be cited for speeding.

So, your point is????? The are hundreds of thousands of miles of roads posted 55 and above. And isn't there a traffic light at that intersection? So for there to be an accident, somebody had to do something stupid, like run the light or turn on red in front of an oncoming car I don't buy that 55 vs. 45 increases accidents, otherwise just make the national speed limit 5 mph. On top of that, there really isn't much traffic coming by on 44. Drivers cause accidents, I see nothing at that intersection such as poor visibility that makes it dangerous. The side road intersections on 301 in the 65 mph. zones are far more dangerous.
