ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you think of the proposal to raise the speed limit on Missouri's highways?"

Jean Mitchell, Cape Girardeau

"I don't think they should do it because people already drive fast enough. They already drive over the speed limit. If the speed limit is raised, they're really going to drive over the speed limit."

Christopher Dick, Detroit, Mich.

"It gets me home faster. I'm for it."

Alan Naslund, Cape Girardeau

"I do not support it, because it's common knowledge that you can drive 72 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone without getting picked up now."

Linda Allee, Cape Girardeau

"Personally I would like it, but I also believe it will cause more deaths."

Pat Lamburth, Tamms, Ill.

"I don't agree with it going up. I just don't think it is safe. I think it's better to stay with the same speed."
