    I don't know what it is about that stretch but it's always congested and having accidents in the same areas......it's not even that hilly or curvy....

    It's a freakin' metropolis. Tons of people, traffic, distribution centers so more trucks, horses and buggies, that #### 55 mph section, all of it!

    I’m sure the 55 mph speed restriction plays a role. From the Allen Road interchange to the PA Turnpike interchange it creates a bottleneck. Everyone is trying to do 65-70+ mph. What complicates it even further is that if there’s a wreck on that stretch of road,there’s literally only a handful of alternate routes and detours that trucks can take, and the Borough of Carlisle really frowns upon that. They really don’t like trucks going through their slice of heaven!

    It's not hard to do 55 mph and leave plenty of space for 8 miles . Most won't do it. And sadly, people have to die.
