Thanks for that....I didn't know they designed the highways for certain speeds
No where did I say that design specs don't exist....no where did I say that....but go ahead and make it seem like I did say that....
The fact is archer was trying to say the highway is not designed to be travelled at 110. Fine.....the engineers wanted people to drive at 100...doesn't mean that they cannot drive at 110 with no problems what so ever. QE2 was not designed to be travelled at 110 but it is because it is safe to do so.
Archers arguement was that there is not enough room between the alternating lanes. If that is the case then large portions of QE2 should not be travelled at 110 especially many sections between red deer and calgary.
