I have 34 years in as a driving instructor. I remember that last 55 fiasco well. Those of us who were used to 65mph on the highways and 70mph on the freeways had a real hard time with slowing to 55mph. Especally hard was doing 55 on freeways where they were designed for far higher speeds, and many were running over the 70mph limit. Was a bitter pill to swallow!
In all reality, 55mph on the surface streets now in this time is probably a safer, and perhaps more realistic speed, and is the limit here in Michigan. Safer, because traffic is far heavier than it used to be. I do get passed an awful lot when I am going 55, so lots of motorists choose to ignore ihe limit, or push it as far as they dare! But 55 on the freeway? Drivers will never observe that, with any seriousness, unless the state police patrols are handing out tickets right and left, and do nothing BUT speed patrols!
It's a good concept, - drive slower, save gas, but it won't fly, didn't fly last time! People will ignore the law, mark my words.
