Should The Speed Limit On Highway 34 Be Raised To 50MPH?

Well there's an arguable question for ya. But it is indeed on the planning tables. A movement is currently underway to raise the speed limit on Highway 34 from the current 40MPH, to 50MPH. What do you think as those living along the road in question? 40MPH does seem ridiculously slow in some spots, but has already angered parents with kids at school bus stops along the road.

It would seem that raising the speed limit to 50MPH would make total sense in the more isolated stretches, but it should remain at 40MPH through residential areas and near any bus stops for school children. Adding back some of the passing zones would also be a great idea as their removal only created frustration, mile long backups and risky illegal passing. Common sense would be the best course to take.
