Oh yeah, reducing speed limits from 65 to 60 will REALLY help in heavy fog. IME, the 18 wheelers on the sections of I-81 with rolling hills do 45mph up the hills and as fast as they can down the hills. You can change the limit all you want, they aren't going to give up that momentum for a number on a sign. -- Matthew T.
