My Roadgeek Jukebox

On my first podcast, I started talking about some tunes that I would feature on a "roadgeek jukebox".

Here are some of the songs I would choose...

"Eastbound And Down" - Jerry Reed
"Little Pink Houses" - John Mellencamp
"The Breeze" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Prisoner of the Highway" - Ronnie Milsap
"Ramblin' Man" - The Allman Brothers Band
"Uneasy Rider" - Charlie Daniels Band

There are several others that I would include, but I'm a lot more interested in what you would have on yours. Please e-mail them to webmaster at georgiaroadgeek dot com and I'll give you a plug on the next blog and podcast... plus even mail you a "Georgia Road Geek" magnet if you want one.

Finally, as promised, here's a picture of one of the "oddball speed limit" signs I found last weekend at the Kennesaw State University Center...

This still begs the question "Why not just make it 15 MPH?" :)

That's all for now. Thanks for reading my blogs, watching "ROADGEEK-CAM!!!", and for listening to my new podcast. Please come back often.

      Steve, from a human factors standpoint, the "odd" speed limit tends to keep folks from violating a posted speed limit. Many large manufacturing plants and refineries post limits of 4 MPH or 9 MPH. Data shows folks do not violate the posted limit nearly as much as when limit is posted as 5 MPH or 10 MPH.

      Although the chances of my gettng a ticket are really low, I routinely drive 2.5 to 3 MPH below the posted limit (in the far right lane, of course)- except when blue lights and siren are on. I've seen many crashes that either occured because speed was a primary factor and the injuries and damage was severly increased because of speed. I was glad to see the 14 MPH photo you posted - I hope it minimizes the violators to the published speed limit.

      Neat web site.

      Take care & 73,
      David
