8 months ago@ajsadauskas @ColeSloth That New York Times entry from 1891 is amazing. (Current U.S. highway posted limits are generally 65 mph (105 kph) with intermittent drops to 55 mph (90 kph) but to be fair traffic flows at about 75 mph (120 kph) regardless. If you can keep to your lane at 75-80 you’re at little risk of being pulled over unless you commit the sin of passing a marked police car.)
@CubeThoughts @ColeSloth @epistatacadam Branford, Connecticut (New Haven County) has a Trolley Museum with some rebuilt trolleys and a few miles of track. All that remains of a huge urban/suburban trolley system torn out to make way for cars (funding for the project courtesy of General Motors).
