It means you can safely go 75mph without getting a ticket.

Its still going to be a parking lot.

That's cute.

So now people will go 90. Sweet.

Chances are the design speed of the entire road is at least 80 anyway

I thought being Charlotte it would have been 200. You guys are failing NASCAR fans

I tried going 75 on I-485 once. Got rear ended.

You really need the banking in the turns to go that fast. And it doesn't give you much time to dodge the potholes.

I remember what it was like to live in a city where they actually built new highways to account for population growth.

When 485 is complete, it'll mark the completion of Charlotte's preparation for the expected population growth of the 1970s.

485 is a fuging mess, I don't know how going that speed doesn't fug up people's cars. The whole south side of it is one big pathetic price of poo. Uneven, holes everywhere, gaps, dips, no paint, no reflectors.

485 projected to be completed and opened next month.
