>Come on Mark! 45 mph zone on a 4 lane freeway?
You bet. We have one in Saint Paul. The section of I-35E from the
Mississippi River north to I-94 and the same stretch in the other direction.
>Ridiculous!
Well, of course it is. A local columnist (with whom I went to school, BTW)
has gotten us all to call it "The Practice Freeway".
It was part of a deal to pay off a neighborhood that didn't want a freeway.
As part of the settlement, the state agreed to call it a "Parkway", prohibit
large trucks and post a 45MPH speed limit to keep the noise down.
