What is the speed limit there ? Is it still 55? Most states now are 70 and better . Here in Florida speed limit is 70 and u can set the cruise at 80. You will still see cars in the left lane 85 and better

[@s0nnyburnett]

65 usually. Too many turns and hills unlike bigger states with miles and miles of long straight roads across nothingland.

[@mikemrod-7167]

I agree. Speed limits on US roads, especially highways, haven’t kept up with the modernization of vehicles that can travel at greater speeds much more safely than older model cars. Better breaking, better suspension, greater controlled acceleration, and overall better handling. While on the thruway here in upstate NY in see the average driver, doesn’t matter what age, race or gender going 10 or more above the posted speed limit which can vary from 55 to 65. I usually try to not go higher than 10 over since you run the risk of getting stopped (I learned this by doing 92 in a 65😮😅). I was respectful and luckily the trooper let me off with a seat belt ticket in place of a speeding ticket.

@@tomservo5007 While this is true for most local and side roads, there are many straightaway roads such as most sections of the US Thruway system that would allow for higher speeds, instead of 65 miles per hour. Something like the thruway should allow drivers to drive at a rate of at least 85 miles per hour in my opinion, provided that the road is straight for a few miles. This doesn’t necessarily mean that all sections of said highway should be set for such speeds. And, atleast in NY State, left hand exits/entrances are very rare.

I’ve been driving for 6 years, both as an Uber driver and as a cargo van driver (delivery driver). In my opinion, speeding on the highway is relatively safe. However, speeding in residential areas is not acceptable due to the presence of children. Most auto collisions, based on my observation, occur on roads with stop signs, during tailgating, on snowy, foggy, or rainy days, or at poorly designed and complicated intersections such as multiple-lane traffic circles (roundabouts). Catching speeders on a bright, sunny day seems to be a waste of time, in my opinion.

[@OttoTetrazzini]

Roads and traffic law are still living in 1956. Meanwhile, vehicle safety and technology easily allows for speeds at 80mph. With all the taxes collected by CT in 7 decades, you'd think perhaps they could modernize interstates to allow for higher speeds. But then again, that would put a dent in their revenue collection.

[@kirk1618]

They did have a chance. Your gas tax is supposed to be for funding the highways. Years ago, in the 70s, the politicians decided to put the fuel tax proceeds into the general fund. They spent the money on other things other than roads and bridges. The interstates were still fairly new and didn't need much for maintenance and upgrades. Instead of collecting and investing for the future, the money has been spent, the fuel tax increased, the addition of the state income tax, and much more. What do you, as a CT taxpayer have to show for it? An antiquated highway system, funds piddled away, and more revenue generating schemes coming from your state government. I know, I was there in the 70's, 80's, and 90s. I heard the promises, saw the removal of the tolls on 95, have seen the perpetual construction. We left. I don't even like going back to visit. The traffic is insane. Who would have ever thought I-95 would be stop and go from NY to RI? Anyone with a little fore thought would have. Now there is so much traffic, safety regulations, and behind the 8 ball, CT will never be able to afford bringing the CT interstates to modern standards. Keep voting those politicians in that will spend your blind. I'm not accusing any political party, look at the individuals.

Sometimes I think people should be allowed to get a permit to speed. The permit should only be valid for cars that are new to a maximum age of 5 years and a maximum odemetor of 75,000. The permit should be valid for 1 year and cost $100 for every MPH above the speed limit allowed and the fine for speeding without a permit should be $1,000 for every MPH above the posted speed limit.
