Description

Mopac changed from 65 to 75mph over 6 months ago from Parmer Lane northbound. There is 1 sign on 1 sign of the road under the Parmer overpass and no more until the Shoreline tolls. There are 3 (busy) on ramps between Parmer and Shoreline and NO signs showing it's 75 not 65. Very few drivers seem to know it's no longer 65 but 75.

Every day you see those who know it's 75 trying to get around those going 65. I've seen cars riding right up the you know what of some drivers in the left lane doing 65...people get frustrated by the backup that always happens at the last free exit, then you get stuck again. Someimes you get 3 across all doing 65 and people are trying to get around them and it gets crazy. I've seen far too many near misses from frustrated drivers (not even going to get started on those who can't ready the "keep left unless...." signs). Why increase the speed but not have it sign posted so people know? This is part of a road you pay to use and have the convenience of less traffic, but get held up by those who don't know because no one put signs up?
