Okay, I'll take the bait. To call that stretch of the freeway a "PARKWAY" is laughable, you may as well say snow is hot. You can legislate a speed limit, but drivers decide the speed. People vote with their feet on this subject everyday, their right feet. Reckless driving is one thing but I'm here to say there's no shame in driving 55, even 60, on 35E. Let's call it civil disobedience. The risk of a ticket is mathematically slight, and I suspect no one since the first year of this stretch of freeway's existence has ever been ticketed for driving 46 - 55 MPH, it's over 60 when the risk kicks in. As for stricter, nay, pure enforcement of the unnatural speed limit I say BRING IT ON...nothing could bring about more quickly the demand to undo this chimera of a restriction. Lastly, I hope those who take showy pride in obedience to every speed limit sign (every? I doubt it) will heed the most practical road sign of all SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT.
