[QUOTE="TeleStratMan, post: 3245203, member: 44716"] The bigger problem that I see is Speed differential on the Turnpikes. That creates a higher risk situation than if EVERYONE was driving 85 and maintaining safe intervals between vehicles. NASCAR proves this theory every weekend driving 200 mph bumper to bumper. Everything is fine until one car bumps another car or cuts a tire and then comes the fun. Anyone that drives regularly on the Turner Turnpike knows that 18 wheelers are a major issue and they will block both lanes with a rolling block for several miles at a times. Especially in the hilly areas on the TP. Traffic always bunches up at the Turnpike Gate and the McDonalds and takes about 10 minutes to get clear of it. Too bad the Turnpike was not 3 Lanes ALL the Way to OKC. The posted speed limit could be 100 MPH and there are always a few jerks that would drive 120 MPH and ruin it for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
