And there have been horrific fatalities at the 470/501 intersection this will mitigate.

Central Parkway will be a 4 Lane divided highway with traffic calming curves similar to Morse and Buena Vista. Reducing speed from 55 to 35 is less than a 5 min difference in drive time from 501 to the Turnpike.
Just think back when you were commuting to work. Would you have liked it if they dropped the speed limit by 20 mph?
