Lowering the speed limit on 30A?

[Kurt]

This morning, I'm reading in the WSJ, about some of the concept cars coming out. BMW is introducing a Beach Mini, which would be perfect for the area, and of course would go well more than 45MPH.

That is to my earlier point that we will have real electric and alternative-energy vehicle alternatives in a few years. In the intervening years, do we want to populate SoWal with small, slow carts?

There's no need to lower the speed limit for Tatas. They go 68 mph. Scooty introduced us to them in http://www.sowal.com/bb/weather/23180-climate-change-poll.html#post407449 .

Tata Motors is an Indian company. The Today Show had a spot on the Tata Nano a few minutes ago. It sells for $2500 in India, but if the auto comes to the U.S. market, it is guessed that the price will go up to $4500 due to being modified for U.S. safety and emissions standards.

I am thinking, "Who would ever name a company Tata Motors?" Ah, the jokes!

I'll say this as succinctly as I can. Lowering the speed limit to 35 mph is a BAD IDEA!

Please put your 30mph road 30a speedlimit

Hi all S Walton Golfcarters.

Please put your 30mph road 30a speedlimit on this site for all to see.

Welcome to the Wikispeedia, the open speed limit database. We are gathering the GPS-coordinates of every speed-limit sign on earth. You don't need any GPS or cellphone to help, just 2 minutes of your time. Its open source so you can contribute. Peopl

(sorry to barge in, its relevant)

Thanks BR! I had forgotten about those. 30-A would be a perfect location to introduce those!

125 mile range and top speed of 68 mph.

Not to mention the fun of decorating your tata(s) for various parades.

I want one for the name alone! Shame that the Da Bug's Tatas is too long for a vanity plate!

Exactly. So what many of you would like to see, is a Walton County rollback of the LSVability on the 17 miles or so that LSV's are allowed on currently,, not just being against making the last 4 miles uniform.

Uhm. No.

See, the way I'm reading this, is that LSVs should be ticketed as they are not legally allowed on roadways that have posted speeds of 45 MPH or more. Since 30A is, in fact, just one road, I don't think that they should be allowed to traverse the roadway at all.

I think that, rather than lowering speed limits to accomodate them, we ought to start enforcing the law and keeping the LSVs in the resort communities where they belong--to help you get from your rental house to the golf course to the clubhouse, WITHIN the community. As many have pointed out, although you don't seem inclined to listen to anyone but yourself, 30A is not one large resort community but a large community containing many resorts (i.e., Rosemary, Seaside, Watercolor, etc.)

It has nothing whatsoever to do with hindering progress, or not being "green" and has everything to do with public safety and convenience.

Would you do that to a cyclist too? I know you're joking kinda, but i mean come on. We're talking about a 1.2 Mile stretch of 45 MPH pavement. It was suggested I move to Sandestin for lowering the speed limit on that stretch LOL

If you know I'm joking why ask a stupid question? I've read this whole thread and you're the only one who seems to have a chip on his shoulder over this subject. I hope someone gives you a great big hug soon it will make you feel better.
