Gotta love 285 speed limit signs.......

[troutman]

Hard to see, but 1 side of the road is 65 the other is 55. It's like this every day on 285 west before South Cobb.

Duh, the left side is the fast lane...

What about the middle lane? Do we average the 2 together?

those are suggestions for how fast you need to be going

makes sense the left side of highway has a higher speed limit; most drivers are retarded and dont understand passing and travel etiquette

yes. from right to left its:

-slow exit lane
-travel lane
-fast travel lane
-get the **** out of my way lane

Isn't that the truth. Speed limits are only suggestions in ATL. If you're not going at least 10 MPH over the limit, you're going to get run over.

Can you actually go that fast? I mean...other than between 10pm to 6am?

I remember driving in Dallas TX years ago, they had a 5 lane version of 285 around Dallas/Ft. Worth. From right to left the lanes were traveling 50-60-70-80-90. If you were brave enough to be in the far left lane, be prepared to haul ass. Posted speed limit was either 55 or 65.

I fail to see how they are able to enforce any speeding tickets written on a road where the speed limit signs are constantly changing.
