Goin' Faster In The Slow Lane

Just a quick little tip to keep you moving along on Manchester Road. Due to a lack of a center turn lane along most of Manchester between Hanley and I-270, it is actually faster to stay in the right hand "slow lane" and avoid all those people making left turns.

Don't forget that the speed limit on Manchester drops from 35 mph to 30 mph when you enter Rock Hill (just east of the Warson Woods Dierbergs.) That might not seem like a lot, but if you're already traveling 5 mph over the speed limit, it could mean the difference between a warning and a ticket.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but having the lights synced along Manchester Road does really seem to help with the flow of traffic. This begs the question, "Why didn't MODOT do this sooner?"
