??? The posted speed limit in that area is 45mph. How would lowering the speed limit make any difference if drivers are ignoring it now? If they are impatient at a posted 45mph are they going to be LESS impatient with a posted 40mph? If they are ignoring the posted speed limits and ignoring the red lights are they all of a sudden going to start obeying the signs if the speed limit is lowered?
