Anyone know what the deal is with the 70 MPH limit on I-85 from south
of Petersburg to the NC line? I thought this was a done deal and was
to be posted back last fall....

VDOT doesn't want to raise the limit, but will bow to the
political reality and post a few 70 signs this year. In
related news, insurance lobbyists killed a bill to raise
the "reckless driving" threshold from 80 to 85.
