When I come home from work, I usually take 496, which loops around town and practically drops me on my doorstep. Until recently, 496 used to be 55 miles per hour - which almost NOBODY ever did unless there was a cop in the median - but now it's 70 miles an hour - which is really nice except in a few places where it feels far too fast.
But here's my beef. A lot of people still drive it like it's 55. Which, when you're dealing with people coming home from work, means a lot of unnecessary backups.
Look, I get it. You're used to doing 55-60 and it's a habit. I get that. And I get that a lot of people back when it was 55 still did 70 mph anyway. But if the sun is shining, and you're holding up a line of cars because you insist on STILL doing 55 in the 70, isn't that more than a little silly?
Plus it irritates the crap out of me.
