I-76 PA Turnpike WESTBOUND, Behind Exit 5 Bridge

Monroeville, PennsylvaniaJul 12, 20020 Comments

My First speeding ticket was gotton on the PA Turnpike heading westbound back to college. A State Trooper got me with radar immediately after the Exit 5 Monroeville Interchange. At that time I did not have a radar detector, and was not that concerned with my speed, so I was caught going 86 in a 55 (which was just previously a 65). I was unaware that the speed limit had changed, and I am certain that I was not going that fast. I was in a string of traffic all going the same speed, and I was on the shaft end of it, I’ll never make that mistake again. Honestly, a large highway such as the turnpike should NOT have speed limits less than 65 MPH. PA is such a long state, and it takes me a while to drive my 245 mile weekly commute back home on the weekends. If a twisty and curvey road such as Route 30 on the Mountains can be marked as 55 MPH, then why the heck isn’t the comparatively straight as a nail turnpike marked as 65 MPH??? It only makes sense. While safety is a key ingredient to all things in life, the practicality of it all is that today’s people need to get places as quickly and efficiently as possible.
