Oh after construction is finished around mid June Middlesex county has no choice but to raise it back to 50 MPH. 35was just a temp. construction speed.
You realize that saying it doesn't make it true, right? You realize everyone knows you have no idea what you're talking about and doesn't take you seriously? And you realize using pulling year-old posts up to comment on that are completely redundant to current ones anyway makes you look like an obsessed wacko, right?

By the way, I used to live in Plainsboro.

Like I said, its one of the worst examples of an underposted speed limit in the area. Eventually, I'd like to raise speed limits on rural and urban freeways to 70-85 instead of the pathetic 55 and 65 which is universally disobeyed.

I have obtained the speed studies for Darrah ln. and Princeton Pike past franklin corner rd. in Lawrence. Both are posted 25 but the speed studies seem to indicate that a limit of 40 or 45 would be more appropriate according to the 85th percentile. I will be attending the town meeting to give a presentation suggesting changing the limits. If I can eventually get these two roads changed, I'll be moving up to the whole town, then other towns and the state roads. Hopefully old trenton will be posted 55 and 133 will be 65 ; o
Do you live in town?
The poster said previously they did not and likely would never be on OTR again. Which makes this all the more interesting.

Considering these roads are not in Cranbury what is the validity to this board? Good luck there and then at the county for OTR.

Thanks for your support. It also seems that speed limits like this (in fact, most speed limits, even though they're not as blatantly ridiculous as this one) are actually federally illegal because regulatory signs are federal devices licensed for use by the state. The federal standard for these devices is that necessity
must
be established by an engineering study, and that a probable cause threshold for when someone is a hazard to others must be established by rational science, not the whims of local or county politics. Obviously this is not very well adhered to, but it seems to be a possible defense against unjust tickets or a possible way to change some of these limits.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Sadly I'm also aware that the local and county courts will probably laugh at this, but hey, if there's a legitimate foundation in law, maybe it can get somewhere eventually.

You need to get out more. Meet your neighbors, try not to think about traffic signs. Please don't buy a firearm.
Well sorry to disappoint you, but I already do get out plenty. And I already own several AK-47's. Just kidding, but why shouldn't I buy a firearm? How is that relevant?
Oh I get it, you're calling me a crazy loser in thinly veiled terms. Sorry for being concerned over peoples' safety. I guess me getting 1% as 'worked up' over the traffic law system being completely irrational as the soccer moms screaming to make limits 25 or 30 on a main road and acting like their kids are gonna die if they don't get their way is just me being a 'crazy loser'.
I'll tell you what...I'm probably very unlikely to do anything 'crazy' in the foreseeable future. Probably less likely than you. See this is why I wonder why I'm getting booted from here, and stuff like this is allowed to stay. I haven't said anything like this to anyone here.

... what I want to do is just get the information out there in a practical sense and perhaps improve safety a bit here and there. I know very well that I don't have much power over this, but like people are interested in various issues, I am interested in traffic engineering and want to increase awareness of it in general, not because changing the speed limit on OTR would do anything on the large scale.
That makes sense to me. Good luck!

I wish I could be a fly on the wall and watch the physical reactions of this poster as he gets so worked up over this.
I guess everyone needs their cause. You could come up with a dozen worse traffic issues within a few mile radius but this one seems to have tapped a nerve. Probably screwed up their commute. Nevermind what a mess all the changing speed limits they keep revising on Cranbury Neck -- doesn't affect his commute...
WORKED UP !!!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE IS GETTING WORKED UP PAL !
Your attempts at sarcasm are lame and annoying. Stop trying to mock me and act like an adult.
