In my case had I obeyed the speed limit I would have been
rear-ended by an SUV while trying to get to my exit. I suppose
the chances are I would have survived, but I'd rather not get
hit. Speeding up from 45 to 55 avoided a collision at the cost
of disrupting traffic. 60 would have been a better speed.

Yes.

Over here we employ brain dead morons who step in front of traffic.
Darwin in action. If you drive through a zone and some idiot steps in
front of you, it doesn't matter how fast you are going. Guess who
gets in trouble.

They also believe it is funny to create barriers to traffic, which
server to do nothing but **** off drivers. Then they stand around and
watch traffic bunch up.

Poor humans, those are the drivers who have to deal with the idiots
working in the zones.

I once encountered all lanes of the northbound dan ryan closed the
distance between an off ramp and an on ramp with workers just standing
around. Took forever to get through the backup... once on the other side
it was smooth sailing cept for when the 3 other cars on the interstate
lined up side by side.
