I believe it is a 35mph zone going though Nice.

45 mph through Nice, actually; with a 40 mph zone in the middle of town, where there are businesses. Not that anyone pays any attention to speed limits in Nice or anywhere else in the USA, in my experience. How about the important people with urgent business going far faster than 55 on Redwood Drive between Redway & Garberville?

I usually go a little faster through their have YOU seen the boulders that come down I also dont go more then 60 or do it in fog, rain or other inclement conditions. I do have an issue with the people that cant go the speed limit, the people who drive 40 in a 55 need to have driving school even the DMV will fail you when you dont go the speed limit in that spot.

Speed limits are the maximum allowed speed. Not the minimum. I was headed west in lucerne with 20,000 lbs of hay once. Creeping along through town with annoyed important people behind me, no doubt…then at that cross walk, some dude staring at his phone just walks right out in front of me! I stood on the brakes, he didn’t look up till my bumper was just over the crosswalk! 2 ft from his knees. Lucky… No. I was driving a speed that allowed me to react to idiots.

On the topic of accidents, there’s currently one on 101 southbound as you come into arcata where the little bump and the little turn is. All vehicles and three cops on the shoulder, no one blocking the freeway, and yet traffic is coming to a complete stop.

DO NOT FUCKING RUBBERNECK!

I just went through there, and people were coming to a complete stop in the left lane to see what was happening, taking pictures, etc etc. THIS WILL CAUSE A SECONDARY ACCIDENT! DO NOT STOP IN TRAFFIC LANES WITHOUT A GOOD REASON! USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAINS!

Bushytails, calm down.. Yes you have some good points…. I was driving through there one car behind the three cops who were pulling over a 90’s white S-10. Two cops cars stopped on the shoulder and a cop car stopped in the slow lane (65mph zone) door open gun drawn….

After hearing squealing tires enough times behind you, with cell phone users stopping a half inch from your bumper, you start to have a strong dislike for stopping in traffic lanes. Everyone I know has been rear-ended at least once, including myself.

What is with these shit-fer-brains on Hwy 20? That road gets closed frequently for crashes. We just had to backtrack and drop south around the lakes for one that closed 20 a month ago.
