They removed the 55mph speed limit sign at Bloomingdale and Scotland, so now a lot of people continue to go 30-40mph from Akron. Then it irritates the people that want to go 55mph, so impatient people do some dangerous passing on the curve instead.

Even though the sign isn't there, it still turns in to 55 after Scotland.

edit: It does happen more often Brian, it's just not reported.
