Thanks to the Daily Dixie for informing us of this proposed measure to reduce the maximum speed limit in Alabama from 70 to 65.
I wonder if the police will enforce the 65 mph limit with the tenacity that the 50 mph speed limit is enforced in downtown Birmingham? Traffic regularly moves at over 70 mph through the 50 mph speed limit zone; not that I’m complaining about the lack of enforcement. But setting arbitrary, unenforced speed limits that no one follows anyway just isn’t good policy.
