DON'T CHANGE THE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. Let people choose how much they are
willing to pay for fuel. Keep the government out of it since one size does
NOT fit all. Besides, it would cost taxpayers money to change the signs.

The number of signs that need to be change could be dramatically reduced
if
the US were to introduce a UK-style "National Speed Limit" sign. See
diagram 671 at http://www.abd.org.uk/speed_limit_signs.htm.

I just saw an article on CNN today that an influential Senator wants to
lower US speed limits again to conserve fuel. If this passes we will need
to
change a lot of highway signs. As long as we're changing the signs, why
not
just set it at 90 km/h or 100 km/h? Does the USMA have any contact with
Senator Warner or within the Energy Department? Can the Energy Department
influence Transportation Department policy?
