Worse than anticipated

The M11 speed limit is probably more dangerous than I had expected. The left lane traffic tends to move at around the 40-50 range (about 10MPH faster at night, however), but the outside lane is still humming at 70+. The left lane has been narrowed by the placement of the large concrete blocks, but the right lane remains unchanged.

This situation is a disaster waiting to happen. Why put up those big 40MPH signs if no one is going to enforce that limit? Already, I've seen some close calls - particularly when someone going 50 in the left lane pulls out to overtake someone doing 45.

These are the changes that need to be made pronto:

1. Enforce the speed limits
2. Cover the 40MPH signs (or increase the speed limit to 60MPH ) after dark and on non-working days
3. Move the concrete blocks back so that the left lanes are the correct width (if this is done, the speed limit can probably be safely raised to 50MPH).
