The Tybee Road
Tybee Road. Everyone’s favorite thoroughfare. It’s long and winding
at spots. And a little known fact - it’s the only road on and off Tybee.
Wait, what? There’s only one road on and off Tybee you ask (you dense
idiot). You’re telling me all these sexy ass residents have only one road
connecting them from the lower 48 and their sand bar in the Atlantic? I
know, it doesn’t seem possible but it is. And let me tell you people, I have
something to say about travel on this “road” as the man calls it.
Spaced out along our one and only road are these metal posts sticking
from the ground, and on these metal posts that stick from the ground are
these white reflective rectangular signs. And on these metal posts that
stick from the ground on these white reflective rectangular signs are two
words and two numbers. SPEED LIMIT 55.
“What does that mean?” you ask. That means you need to be going 55
miles per hour. “I don’t comprehend,” you say. This is the speed that has
been determined to move traffic safely along our one and only road on
and off the island. The only road that separates us from hospitals, urgent
cares, and veterinary offices. The only road we can take to get to and
from our friends and family. “I see,” you say. “But I want to go 32 miles
per hour so I can be focused on my phone and taking pictures of marsh
grass.” Well then. I have to tell you. I hate you. We all hate you. Tybee
Road is not a residential street, it is a federal highway. Federal Highway.
Again, Federal, Highway.
We try to be patient, we really do, the speed limit changes from 35 MPH
to 45 MPH right after Tybee Oaks, pass Spanish Hammock and it goes up
to 55 MPH, but we locals are cool, we’ll give you until Ft. Pulaski to make
it to 55 MPH, that’s 2.6 MILES down the road from the first speed limit
change. If you cannot make it from 35 to 55 in 2.6 miles PLEASE PULL
OVER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK.
In case you’re struggling to remember the magic number 55, here are
some helpful hints. How old will a person born in 1963 turn in the year
2018? The answer: 55. If my purchase at the IGA comes to $45, and I pay
with a $100 bill how much change do I get back? $55. How many years
since the JFK assassination? 55. What is the square root of 3025? 55.
How many years ago were ZIP Codes (zoning improvement plan codes)
implemented in the United States? 55. If I am 29 years old now, how old
will I be in 26 years? 55. If I have two quarters and a nickel what is the
value of the coins that I have? 55. The magic number is FIFTY FIVE.
PLEASE. Weather and traffic conditions permitting, drive the speed limit.
Or we’ll complain about you on Facebook!
