SPEED liMiT?!

They dropped the speed limit yesterday from 65 mph to 55 between mileposts 80 and 100. They are saying the reason is because there has been so many deaths in this range.
I don't know how effective this approach will be considering the speed limit is normally 65 and people are doing 80 on a regular basis. They are supposedly building shoulders and guardrails.I don't necessarily agree with the speed reduction, I think the deaths may be caused more by crazy or drunk drivers. Maybe having more troopers out enforcing the law would have more of an impact.

People take the parkway to get places faster. Wont Lowering the speed limit just send people into road rage?
