 speed limits on suburban roads and school zones are generally not what is
considered "THE speed limit".  We're talking about highway type roads here,
not roads with houses on each side and kids playing in the street....

So Brian, are you saying that a 20 MPH speed limit at school zones are
nothing but speed traps to raise money?

Yeah, like that. And have you ever driven through Atlanta? They could
have killed someone.

In response to the "minimum speed" comment - that's nothing to do with
driving in the left lane. In fact, a defense for a speeding ticket in
some areas is the flow of traffic. One, you can speed if EVERYONE is
(most people don't get ticketed for doing 80 in a 70 around here) and
you might get a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic (or however
they put it) if you're in the left lane doing the speed limit.

Point is, speed limits have NEVER been shown to have ANY effect on
auto deaths on the highway. They are clearly nothing more than a tax.
