It's the law. You can't go 55-60 in a residential area. If you could, they'd just raise the limit. Anyway the blocking is because on some days I allow them to pass me because I choose to wait for the sign. But because I didn't want to go 15 over, now I must go 10-5 under. If I go 5 over that's 50 in a 45. If they pass me 10 over that's 55 in a 45. I'm in a bright red convertible so I'm not going to do that. Anyway, this means that after the speed limit raises, they're still going 55. This is what's posted only 1) Now I can't go 5 over and 2) since they don't used cruise control, their speed fluctuates and many times I'm going 5 under, which was how fast I was going when they felt the need to pass me. 3) I can no longer see road hazards so when they swerve to avoid a stop car or flooded lane SURPRISE!Ok, so now I have to fight my way again to get in front. Eventually it gets to the point where they have to go 65 to past me... And do. Then the whole thing repeats itself. I honestly think that's why the city timed their lights forcing you to stop at each one. It's their way to control speeders. If only they would control the red light runners. BTW I once reported a trouble area (they have a website form) where no less than 3 cars were crossing when our light was green. Since they get a red 4 seconds before we get a green. That's 5-7 cars!!! Cop talks to the traffic dept and rather than punish them, they REWARD them!!! They decided to extend the light in their favor so more cars could get by... ...except now when it does finally turn red, they still run it.</blockquote>
