One problem is that there will always be bitching going on.  One of you always
says "+5," while another says "10 mph over."  Yet another talks about 10-15
over.  Some of you are referring to all travel, some of you are only talking
about the interstates, which, when they were designed, were set for travel at 70
mph.  With the increases in performance of automobiles, this should equate to
faster speeds--if everything remains equal.  In my area, traffic has more than
tripled, and people aren't just speeding on the interstates.  They are speeding
on the state route at the foot of the hill, they are going an average of 45 in a
35 on my street, and routinely exceed the speed limit downtown (and even past the
schools.)
