Hell, the real cams should be on 495/95, the average speed on there is 80/85mph.

5 people haven't been run the fvck over on the blue route or 95 in the last six weeks
They have pedestrian walkways, lol, you're comparing two diff road types (i-state to a blvd). The main point is that if they're going to put cams up on Roosevelt, they should put them up on all the major roads including the Blue Route and 95 IMO. I'm doing 10 over and I've seen a.holes pass me doing 90+ daily. It almost feels like Atlanta.

I'll be the first person to help burn them down if they put them on the interstates. I am one of those assholes you're talking about.

Did you know that the Blue Route, at speeds over 100 mph feels remarkably like route 100 south of West Chester? It's like a larger scale, river-side road :evil:
Crash and burn, baby. Think they'll have internet access for you in prison so you can post about it? :laugh:

Meh, the times that I go above 85 are becoming less and less frequent. I usually can't resist doing it at 2 or 3 am though :)

I usually only drive at the stretch of route 1 between 76 and Longwood Gardens. Speeders aren't the problem, it's those who I catch on their cellphones cutting other people off and aggressive drivers. Like 76, that road would benefit more by having more lanes (both 76 and at that part it has 4 lanes, 2 on each side). I just saw it on the news and I think it's pure crap. Especially since it's no-negotiation. I guess they need the money for the Magnum and Charger police I've been seeing driving around (I know, an arrogant statement but it felt good to say it).
Actually, they don't do it for the Magnums and Chargers. The truth is far worse. They do it for the gifts, back-room deals, and the campaign contributions.
