Highway 102 at Pennington Ave.

Halifax, Nova ScotiaAug 04, 20102 Comments

Coming inbound on 102 as you enter Halifax near Romans Ave / Bayers Rd the police set up to get you from the 90 to 70 to 50 km zone.

Driving the posted speed limit there is like a death wish. If you obey the signs you will appear to be crawling while traffic flies past. The whole section of road is terribly designed and marked and the police take advantage of this.

There is a steady downhill on the 102 towards the 50 km/hr zone, at that spot, and the HPD knows that cruise control is useless at 50 km/hr because there's no drag force to slow you down (you'll coast past the speed limit). They've been adding signage over the last year or so but a speed flashing billboard like they have at the MacKay bridge would eliminate the problem............no $$$$$ for city council though. The HPD targets the valleys below down hill runs at the lowest speed limits. Somebody understands physics and technology in the department.......too bad they didn't put it to better use. Maybe city council should let them do their job :)
