The speed on Hwy 6 is absolutely ridiculous , may as well raise the limit to 85-90 if no one is going to bother to control it .

Speed up, your impeding traffic.jj.5150 said:

DA's still dont understand that slow traffic needs to stay to the damn right in the mornings. A vehicle can go as fast as they want to in the left hand lane. If they crash or get a ticket thats on them, it is their choice. Driving in the left hand lane is a ticketable offense and not enough cops follow the rule.

Don't stir up the rookie. He obviously created an account and started this thread to complain. Why give him that satisfaction?

Slower drivers that imped traffic cause more multi-vehicle wrecks than drivers going 5 - 10 over the speed limit. That is straight from the mouths of first responders.

I can't drive 75. 85 or GTFO.
Correct. And just to add- technically, left lane is for passing only. Traffic would be ezpz breezy if people would just get in the right lanes after passing and let faster traffic through in the left lane. I don't care if I am going 100 in the left lane, if someone comes up behind me going 101 I'll move over ASAP and let them through.Stupe said:This is a non sarcastic response.BrandoC said:

Maybe we should do what they do in Montana. The last time I visited, the daytime speed limit is "reasonable and prudent."
They are also more spread out.Quote:
Yeah, something about driving fast makes people pay more attention to the road and cars around them more. Driving slower makes it easier to be on your phone or look around at everything that isn't on the road.

That corridor from north Bryan to south College Station is completely screwed up. Far too many people merging on and off in very short distances. It's like TXDOT didn't plan for the population to swell so much whenever they designed this.
Third lane coming in a few years for the bypass. So they say. That'll help.Love Gun said:
Just five years ago, the speed limit on 6 was 75 through BCS. They dropped it back down to 70 and now people go even slower.

I can't wait. Can they put in a turnaround at the Briarcrest overpass, as well?techno-ag said:Third lane coming in a few years for the bypass. So they say. That'll help.Love Gun said:

My favorite drivers are (1) those entering Hwy 6 at about 28 MPH, and (2) those exiting SB Hwy 6 at Barron then jumping across three lanes to turn at Graham. Great fun and excitement!
IIRC an older lady stopped on one of the entrance ramps a couple years back or so, waiting for traffic to clear. A college student promptly slammed into her.75AG said:

And the bridge at Barron Road makes everyone in the Southbound lanes slow down to 50mph.75AG said:
