Quote from: Scott5114 on July 12, 2025, 02:06:01 AMI have heard in rural Nevada it's common to just straddle the yellow line because that makes it easier to not go off the road at triple-digit speeds.
Quote from: Dirt Roads on July 12, 2025, 10:56:38 AMHistorically, West Virginians drove across the center line in every curve to round out and tack on another 5 MPH in speed. The extra speed was also necessary to help avoid in the opposing lane doing the opposite manuever in the same curve (both vehicles manuevering at the same time). Amazingly, I never ever heard of any head-on collisions in curves. Cannot imagine anyone doing this today without tragic consequences.
Quote from: mgk920 on July 12, 2025, 05:48:16 PMI saw an interesting plate today here in Appleton, WI. It was all white with dark blue everything else, very simple and almost generic looking, very 'Texas-like'. Chihuahua (Mexico) with the number [ERY-(nnn)-B]. I believe that it was not embossed.
Quote from: GaryV on Today at 07:09:55 AMHint: That's the way the system was designed by the original framers of the Constitution.Hint: there is a reason why it's unconstitutional for states to replicate that system for their own Senates. Especially since nearly all political battles these days are urban vs. rural or blue collar vs. white collar, not big state vs. small state. Even before the modern divides, it was slave state vs. free state, so in retrospect, big state vs. small state feels more like an unfounded fear than anything that was ever actually real (although the Senate did at least prove useful for balancing power between slave and free, but it ending up that way was largely a happy coincidence for a while and eventually broke down, resulting in the Civil War, so that was really more postponing the inevitable and possibly making it worse rather than keeping the peace).

"I'll pay $5 just to drive through Delaware!"
-said by no one
Ironically, they just improved the shunpike at the north end of the tolls. Without AET gantries (which would likely anger anyone working at UD or the tech campus), the incentive to exit before the tolls just increased.
A lot of people live off this interchange also.
Actually DE 279 heading towards DE 4/DE 896 got an extra lane a few years ago as well.
