Description

You read my mind and changed the speed limit on rte 99, between Marriottsville Rd and Rte 32, to 40 mph!!! For years I've thought that 50 was too high. Thank you!! A couple of follow-on thoughts. Were the signs "flagged" at time of the change? Like when a new signal is put in, there is a flagged sign announcing the signal's arrival. If it hasn't been done already, perhaps consider doing so -- so drivers will make note of the change. Also, I think it would be a good idea to add one or two more signs both eastbound and westbound. When you currently see "end school zone" you kind of think, oh, I can now speed up. But now the "school zone" speed is the same as the rest of the road (40). I think it would be good to at least place speed signs right past the "end school zone" signs. And, then I would add at least one other speed sign to different places on this entire section of rte 99, both eastbound and westbound, as helpful reminders that the speed limit is in fact 40. Thanks for listening.
