The 4 lane divided section at entrance to Ross Bridge

Hoover, AlabamaFeb 26, 20120 Comments

Speed Limit posted at 35 in this section. Sight distance is good and the speed limit is obviously not set according to the 85th percentile speed. Hoover motorscouts were there on Sunday writing tickets. Very light traffic and an easy place to write tickets due to the unreasonably low speed limit in this section. I have over 40 years experience as an urban traffic engineer and feel qualified to comment on this improper traffic control. I would suspect that this speed limit was suggested by the Ross Bridge developer using political connections rather than traffic engineering studies. No, I have not received a speeding ticket here or anywhere else for that matter.
