The current speed limit is just fine. The writer of this editorial seems to be a bit out of touch with reality. An 18-wheeler going full speed would be going close to 90 mph. I know — I drove one for 22 years prior to driving a cop car for 15 years. A service road at Food Lion IS however a very good idea.

People just need to pay attention to what is going on around them and not do stupid things like pulling out in front of another vehicle when it isn’t safe to do so. Lowering the speed limit to 45 won’t make a difference. It will just slow things down and most people will just ignore the speed limit anyway. And Tony, I am an “old folk” and I get by just fine!

It is bad enough there is heavy traffic in the summer and few traffic lights, but people that live here and try to get on 13 find it difficult to cross over to go either North or South when a driver is using the left lanes just because he likes to. It would help the finances of the local Sherriff Dept. and make life a little bit easier for us old folks.
