There is a stretch right out of town where the limit increases from 45 to 55... for, oh, .5 of a mile before you then have to come to a complete stop for a cross road!

So, everybody guns it at that sign, only to come to a stop so shortly after.

I wonder how many gallons of fuel have been wasted at that stretch of road over the years?

I'd like to pull that stupid sign right out so that everybody just continues on at 45 until they have to stop.

Might cost the average driver 2 or 3 seconds over that stretch...
