Lane Ranger: Why are four
lanes slower than two?
b. New speed limits have been
added to a widened section of State Road 20. The four-lane speed limit is 45mph,
but the two-lane speed limit is 55 mph. As widening continues, new speed limits
are put into place.
c. The problem is the slowing
down of traffic and the ticketing of drivers as speed limits are constantly changing
in sections.
d. Those with the problem are
the drivers stuck in slower traffic, the drivers that are getting pulled over
for speeding, and the police for having to monitor those roads more as they are
constantly changing.

The Landing, a recognizable
Jacksonville landmark open since 1987, had finally been demolished entirely.

The city council has the problem of deciding with consideration of the surrounding community.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post! Some of the articles you mentioned were really interesting. I really found the first article interesting as a driver myself who does not want to get a speeding ticket. I agree with what you put for the problems and who they relate too. I think this is important for an entrepreneur to do. Keep up the good work!
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI think that your post was well thought out and well researched. All of the articles you mentioned were really interesting and you did a good job of picking out the problems laid out in them. I thought the most interesting article you included was the traffic one. I find it interesting how the four lane is slower than two and I do agree this will be a problem with traffic.
