Actually, I-81 is so often congested with trucks that it's usually hard
to build up speed.  I'm not sure extra enforcement will make a lot of
difference there.

More offensive is the continuing failure of the Legislature to up the
rural Interstate speed limit to 70 (and allow speed limit increases on
some urban freeways, too).  The latest proposal, I understand, died in a
tie vote in a House of Delegates committee.
