I'll be shocked if this actually works.
I-5 speed limits could be reduced in Seattle
SEATTLE - The speed limit on a six-mile stretch of I-5 in Seattle will change several times a day when the Transportation Department installs new overhead electronic signs.
The department says variable speed control should help traffic flow more smoothly and prevent rear-end collisions.
Four signs will be installed in the northbound lanes next year between Boeing Field and I-90.
Drivers near the airport might be held to 30 mph or 40 mph to reduce the chance of them running into stop-and-go traffic downtown.
A DOT project manager, Carol Hunter, says the $25 million project is one of the programs meant to relieve congestion during the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle.
