eh, unless I\'m going to shows, I\'m not really on the highway anymore so I\'m pretty indifferent. I can see some speed limit raises in certain areas, but it depends on alot of factors with the traffic paterns, condition of the road and shape of road (# of lanes, degree of bends, incline percentage of hills, etc).
As far as the automatic speed tracking, it would be interesting to see how accurate it could be. Lets say it tracks you from point a to point b, say new haven to hartford on 91 (37 miles):
Assume the speed limit is 65 the whole way (it\'s not), it should take you 0.57 hours (35 minutes) to travel the distance.
From exit 2-8 your stuck in rush hour and can only go 40 mph. From exit 8-22 your doing 90mph, but then you have to slow back down and you hit rush hour again the rest of the way into hartford, doing 20-40mph. You take the exit in hartford exactly 35 mintues after leaving new haven. So, you must have been doing the speed limit for the whole trip. However technically you were driving under the speed limit for part, and way over the speed limit for another part. How would your system handel this situation?
Here\'s another one: would you be in favor of CT instituting toll booths again as a way to raise money to finally finish some of these work zones. All money would only be used by DOT for work on state owned roads. Discuss.
