Speed Limit Compromise Poll

codeman671 · 08-20-2009, 01:02 PM

Although I am an opponent of the current law, some of the compromises make perfect sense. I could care less about how fast people go in the broads. What I don't like are the boats that scream between the islands at 80mph on busy days... Even still I see a few fast boats every weekend cutting the corner at the end of Mark and flying through one of the busiest watersports areas on the lake between campers, tubers, skiers, and boarders.

I am fine with no limits as long as patrols are stepped up to prevent safety issues in certain hot spots. I am fine with 65/30, fine with the current law with unlimited in the broads, or similar variations. Something needed to be done, I just don't completely agree with the outcome thus far.

As far as night time, 25-30 is plenty fast. I have certainly made my high speeds broads runs back at night, and sometimes in inclement weather but dont mind dialing it back.

For the record I went current law with broads unlimited.
