   be part of the problem. They want to accommodate the maximum volume of cars,   
   with little regard to safety. I remember the same winding road next to   
   Woodbourne, NY, changing the    
   speed limit wildly from 35 mph to 55 mph. If you followed those limits, it   
   would get you killed. But they figure nobody can follow such wild changes from   
   one section of the road to another. Same road! Hey, they are hiding everywhere   
   waiting for    
   unsuspecting drivers who failed to adjust from 55 mph to 35 mph.

   are. Sometimes they could be higher (40 mph within city limits) sometimes it   
   should be lower (20 mph). It's important that cars don't weave around other   
   cars and have slower    
   cars drive on the right. That's where the interaction with a bicycle occurs.

   You know, what you are doing actually makes sense. Regrettably, that makes you   
   the black sheep. :(
