Ahahahahaha. Great spread!
We here in Yuma have the Newtonian (equal but opposite) formula. Low speeds and every bit of the smoke contained. A surprisingly large fraction of the population seems to fear that they will tip their rig over in any turn over 5 mph. Speed limits are for first responders only. If you can see a car (and you can see a LONG way in our flat environment) it's way too busy to enter traffic. The half mile long entry ramps to the freeway are meant to be traveled at 35 mph so that you can merge with 65 mph traffic without intent.
We still have lots of broken buildings. Old people seem to forget which pedal does what when they leave their ride for a time. It's low speed, sure, but they never stop until their car can't go any farther. I can't tell you how many handicapped parking signs have been left inside restaurants, doctor's offices and hearing aid shops...
Thank ya!
Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of that too, they just never let off the throttle and pass'em in the turn lane here. For the past few years they've been 'right-sizing' the main drags here, which mostly seems to consist of taking a street with two lanes going each direction and reducing it to one each way with a turn lane in the middle. You wouldn't think that'd be enough to make people lose their minds but it seems to have worked out that way. Ha, here you're going to slow if you're only driving the speed limit, I've definitely passed cops doing 15 over the limit, looked over and made eye contact and then kept right on going and they don't do anything.
Here at least the old people are playing second fiddle to the bourbon trail, think we may have reached the point where emphasizing alcohol may be backfiring. There's a bar here that gets hit often enough that we've verbed its name and just call it a magbarring when a building gets hit.
