Ummm, I was on the Pike a couple months ago, driving out to Amherst, so I was
on the pike going westbound, past exit 10, and I know that the speed limit going
WESTBOUND changes back to 55 after the I-84 interchange, which is exit 10 I
believe.  Now if they've changed it very recently, I don't know.  But back 
towards the end of November it was 55mph after the road went from 3 to 2 lanes
after exit 10.
