National Motorists Association Blog : Why Did It Take Nearly 30 Years To Fix A Simple Speed Limit Sign?

Go do your research M1THRAND1R. This is part of an article about that area. There are many more. NMA is just ignorant for posting this type of article without looking at the facts. The problem is they do not care about facts or safety. “This is an area which has long had a history of complaints of speeders,” said Krebs. “We’ve had speeds as high as 50 plus in here.” Continued later in the article: Krebs, who is also the spokesperson for the Milwaukie Police Department, said the main priority was safety, not raising revenue. “No, it is safety,” he said. “”We’ve had crashes at this location. As a matter of fact, this very location two months ago we had a crash where it was speed related.” http://www.katu.com/news/54651892.html

George you are stupid as usual. It was not a fraudulant speed. 35 mph would be a fraudulant speed because it would not take engineering standards into affect. Most residential areas that I have ever seen with houses close to the street and garages facing the street with minimum distance and a lot of pedestrians is set at 25 mph or 30 mph at a max. I can not help your stupidity.

M1THRAND I like it where you say that you put your blinders on to the facts. The fact is that although the road may have been built for the speed of 35 mph, the surrounding area would limit that speed according to any engineer. You say that you want speeds set to engineering standards but it is obvious that at 35 mph it is not. Funny how you took your blinders off long enough to read this article. You are truly stupid if you say that it does not matter if it is safe enough at a given speed. All it matters is that someone said it had the wrong signs on it so that is good enough for you.

M1THRAND1R I would bet that no traffic engineer did any evaluation of that area. The city was smart enough to set the speed correctly. I have never seen any road like that set at 35 mph. Are you one of the stupid ones that never looked at it and are commenting? I guess I did not even have to ask that because I know the answer. That is a residential area and has more dangerous road conditions than any residential area I have ever seen. Of course you and others believe if your car can get up to 60 mph on that road then that should be the speed limit. You are an idiot. I know that you do not care about kids living or adults for that matter. It is more important to display your stupidity in thinking and driving.

Has anyone looked at the pictures of the roadway in question in this article? I have. The speeds should not be 35 or higher. There are garages within 20 feet of the roadway with people backing on the roadway to either enter of exit their garage. There are houses within 20 feet of the roadway also. There is also a narrow bike path directly on the edge of the roadway on each side. There are also hedges and trees within a few feet of the roadway blocking long distance visibility. This is not a high speed road. That is probably why there was a 25 mph speed limit in the first place. NMA would not tell you these facts.

The pictures on the Ford Focus site are not pictures of a GM product.

If NMA can not take a picture of the actual sign at least they could post one with the speed limit of the sign in question and at least not post a picture of a sign on the ground. What idiots write these articles?

So what does the debt of our country have to do with you being too stupid to wear seatbelts and want no safety standards for car?. Drive a motorcycle and go for it. Make sure you find a state that does not require glasses or helmets. There was an accident in the local paper today. One person died because she was ejected from the vehicle and the others just had various injuries.

gkisystems small cars can be very safe with the proper safety equipment and design. It is good that the governent is smart enough to make safety devices required because if they were not required many people would not buy them. Why? Most people say that only accidents occur to someone else. Why then are there thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries each year? Read my link above from Edmunds

Yes M1THRAND1R I forgot that you have not learned to do any searches for information yourself. The solution rather than not visit this site is to get the people to tell the truth although an impossible task. Read the article below carefully because it answers a lot of your questions you have been asking: http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/safety/articles/...

It may not strengthen my position but it is the truth. I do believe you and schwinn are actually the same person with two Ids.

schwinn as usual you are a stupid idiot. The people that buy the cheapest cars and cheapest used cars are the very young drivers. You know, the ones that get in the most accidents and drive the fastest. You know, the ones you want killed. I NEVER EVER want to hear anyone from this organization say how low the death rate is now because if it was the way that NMA wants it there would be thousands of more deaths each year.

It is nice to see that Eric is still promoting unsafe driving and hoping for more fatalities on the roadway. He believes like NMA does that safety should be optional. Get rid of the airbags and kill a few more thousand people. How about seat belts? You could kill a few more thousand by making them optional also. He says that cars are lasting a long long time. If you devide the price of those safety devices over 12 to 15 years then they end up costing very little.

Guadalautern we are glad you are not here also. Anyone that brags that they do 110 mph in light rain we do not need or want. I guess Germany does not prosecute their laws that they have? In Mexico you do not need the government. The high powered guns rule.

One of the change in speed limit reports that you were looking for. It shows exactly what I have been saying, you see the most difference where the actual travel speed goes up along with what is on the signs as shown with midwest states. In states that typically never follow the speed limit anyway there is little change in fatalities because actual travel speed does not change that much. http://www.bts.gov/publications/journal_of_transp...

M1THRAND1R this statement followed directly behind yours "The present study indicates that the speed distribution may be a unimodal or a bimodal curve depending upon the variation in the speed of different categories of vehicles moving on the highway" A bimodal curve is exactly a curve that I mentioned that you said you did not agree with. The one where there is a group of fast drivers and a group of normal drivers. I do not need to reference this quote do I because you just mentioned it? You and all NMA quotes stop short of explaining the complete story.. As for your previous statement that says I agree with what people have stated here, that could not be farther from the truth.

M1THRAND1R I do not have a study handy to send you. In the future I will keep a list of studies that I run across and put them in catagories for your questions. I have seen this type of thing though where groups of a half a dozen cars or so are driving significantly faster than the the other cars. I have also driven in highly populated areas also where if you were not driving well over the speed limit no matter what lane you were in you would have a car on your bumper or a semi even though with the distances that they were traveling the speed they had selected was not needed. I do bet though that the next post anyone makes will have the 85% rule as the speed limit we should have when as you stated it should only be a starting point.

Sounds good to me. NMA is losing their most favorite way of avoiding tickets. Hoping the cop does not show up to testify. They know if he does they will owe the ticket money because in fact 99.99% of them were guilty in the first place. That is anoher reason why they do not like ticket cameras. Any cop can testify.

M1THRAND1R your statement is why you and George and schwinn should not be here. Using the 85% rule, it in fact does not matter what speed the slower 84 percent of drivers are driving at. They could all be driving under 50 mph. If the person that brings the number to 85% is driving 70 mph then you have an 85% speed of 70 mph. You are right in that it does not matter what the fastest driver is driving at and at the same time it does not matter what speed the major majority of drivers are driving at. Those kind of things are the things that engineers look at that you and your brother schwinn seem to always leave out.
