dbussone: the speed limit on 466 from 441 to 301 except for school zones, etc is 45mph and beyond 301 can be upward of 55mph.
In my view 45 mph is too slow. I say this because some drivers insist on doing 35mph or under and often they stay in the left lane and stay abreast with those drivers in the right hand lane. hence many drivers are completley blocked off. This scenario often plays out on 466 frustrating many driver. if the speed limit changed to 35mph then they be going 25-30mph...its a badge of honor
LOE recent posting is going to cause more confusion because you are never going to get 100% of people to be compliant to rules that make little or no sense. People will make the necessary move when it opens. if a guy is going below 45mph in the left lane a driver behind him is likely to go to the right lane to get around this slower driver and then back into the left lane and proceed at 45mph +
If people did follow what the LOE are suggesting 466 would be a bottleneck Monday thru Friday. Morning traffic is heavy for those gong to work as is afternoon when they go home.
