I think just the fact that no one uses Tortosa to get to anything else makes him a candidate for having the last laugh. At least Tortosa residents don't constantly complain about people driving through their neighborhood as a shortcut like many people closer to the 347 do. There are def. pros and cons to being closer to "civilization," or the freeway. And as a resident of Homestead, I for one cannot wait for another street leading to the 10, either. It would mean I would not have to travel 35-45 mph through town to get to a freeway; just having another way out of Maricopa would make things more bearable for everyone. I think we have a long wait for that, though, lol.

Great, so you really think someone who is speeding will be able to stop in time for a red light? And how many mph over would they have to be going to be considered speeding? Look for more accidents and fatalities if that ever happens. It's hard enough having just a few lights on that highway. A light every two miles defeats the purpose of a highway anyway; yeah, let's just slow down traffic even more by making the entire way to Phoenix just like surface streets. Not everyone drives 40 mph all the time.

I'll be the one pointing to the speed limit signs. It must be the same Mexicans and Chinese that can't read them either. Please make up some signs that state

I set my cruise on 55moh all the time.  Not only do I get 56mpg+, I also don't ever pass anyone.  I am always in my own space as people drive right on by me. 

I never get tailgated and I am never held up by the slow idiots in the left lane.

and more and more people are pulling in behind me and slowing down....sorry to cause fear in some, but I'm so much more relaxed while I drive now. Can I draft RichTig?

I am also completely relaxed.  No more trying to go 70+ in the left lane behind some retard playing cop and holding everyone up at 65mph or less.  I just sit back and enjoy the ride.  And I usually pull up right behind the people, who went zooming past me, at the light at SmithEnkhe. 

Plenty of semi trucks drive well over 65mph on the 347.

anyone going 5 mph below the speed limit should be shot

I hear ya!!! I set my CC to 59, crank up the tunes, lean back, lightup a fatty and roll!!!! Life really is much better in the slow lane! 

No, the problem you are having is that we are ignoring you foo!!!!!

It's not against the law to go 10 mph under the speed LIMIT...  Of course unless there is a minimum speed LIMIT.  Just because it says 65, doesn't mean by law you must drive 65, you may drive any speed up to a LIMIT of 65. 

BTW slow drivers are just as hazardous as fast drivers...  Both are creating hazardous situations on the highway... Go with the flow of traffic to be safest, keeping good distances between you and other cars.  If all traffic is going 75 miles per hour, and you're driving 55 and traffic is flying around you... there is more of a possibility that YOU will be picked up than everyone driving 75... because YOU are the hazard.

They really need to make the kids here go to Driver's EDUCATION.

Just because a whole bunch of dumbasses decide to speed and go 75mph, doesn't mean I have too.  When you get pulled over and you tell the cop "I was just driving with traffic", you will still get the ticket.  That argument is stupid.
