Scenic 30A now 25 MPH between Watercolor and Grayton

[chanster]

so from were to were is it 25 mph? many parts of seagrove to alys beach are 35 mph. so all of 30-a is 25 mph? thats crazy

I can see lowering the speed limit if safety is a concern. A separate bridge for pedestrians and bikes would be a great improvement.

However, they did it after season and didn't do it other places where the path is next to the road so I must conclude the #@$$%#@#% golf carts are really what is behind this.

I drove that stretch this morning, and absolutely tried my best to go 25. I could not do it. It is a rural highway with absolutely no intersecting roads nor any other congestion problems. It feels completely safe going 45. If the bicycles on the bridges are the problem, then have over the top warning signs for both the cars and the bicyclers at the bridges. To be going 25 from Watercolor to Grayton is lunacy.

No thank you on more signs.

I just left there and saw a 'vette passing someone.

That's right, kids. Insanely low speed limits leads to more passing

 

[Lake View Too]

Which leads to less safe roadways. The more coherent the speed limits, the less passing will occur. We need for the traffic to flow smoothly, with no one doing any passing.

Well-stated. I'm not buying that Walton County or FDOT did any recent traffic study in that area before putting up the 25mph signs.

It ain't right. It ain't right. It ain't right! That's my commute. It's where I go from the location where I pay property taxes to the place I collect sales taxes.

Golf carts are "neighborhood electric vehicles." That means you use them to get around your neighborhood; not to another development 1.5 miles down the road. Period.

A golf cart in front of you on 30A is entitled to one free 5 second horn blast. If you really want to have some fun, install a train horn on your vehicle.

That stretch of road should have been lowered a long time ago. 25mph may be a bit too low, 35mph would have been a better compromise, and 25 at the bridge.

The Western Lake pedestrian bridge needed to be built years ago. The county and the TDC should split the cost.

would be nice to use some of that BP money for something important like this.
