Sounds like an accident waiting to happen to me.
Exactly. You said it better than I did. Leave that law for roads like the turnpike, 75, I4, etc. Not local roads. The speed limit on 466 should be 35 mph anyway. There are two school zones where you have to slow to 20 mph. I couldn't tell you how many have blown by me at 40 - 45 mph when the light is flashing to go 20. Let's face it folks, reaction times are not what they used to be.
