They need to raise it to at least 40. 45 would be ideal. I think the reason it is 35 is for traffic merging westbound from 1st Avenue South. Not much room to get up to speed.
That said, I am sick and tired of going 35-40. I either get tailgated and honked at. Passed on the right OR worse yet, if I get in the right lane to let everyone pass have a difficult time merging back to the left lane before I-5 north!
Well intentioned speed limit, I think, but enough is enough. Raise it.
Oh, and while you’re at it – get rid of the bus lane east of the 99 exit. It is a bottleneck and not used by busses very often.
