On the topic of speed limits. Was there an approval process for route 2 between
Tracey's and Crosbys being increased to 55?That was always stated it would not
happen during the planning. I emailed the state but no response ThanksSharon

on RT 2A and Why? The 45 mph speed limit speed limit on part of Route 2A of
Lincoln waschanged to 40 by MassHighway in 1998. This was a political favor.
Inever bothered to ask for the engineering study and I don't know ifthe
department pretended to do one. I verified that the road did notqualify for a
40 mph speed limit according to the official speedzoning procedure.The speed
limit change didn't affect traffic speed. I'm sure theengineers who signed the
paperwork knew it wouldn't. It is well knownthat you can't control traffic
speed by changing numbers on signs.But orders are orders.John CarrOn Sun, Dec
