PSA: VMP is 80km/h. Not 50, Not 60, 80km/h.
The driving comprehension of this city is astonishing.
A lot of people take this highway to skip the city speed and traffic. And yet, it seems as of late I hardly ever go faster than 60. Everyone drives in both lanes so its impossible to pass, and once it gets down to one lane after Oxford street we're usually dead stopped.
While the single lane section of the north end VMP obviously has operational issues and needs additional lanes, I will still see people at the front of a queue pass the 80 sign, and continue to lead the charge at a whopping 60km/h. Do better.
The speed limit is 80. In fact, it's 90 closer to the 401. Move over if you want to drive slower, and speed up if you're at the front. You're not driving safer, you're causing traffic congestion, harming the economy, and should be getting a ticket.
