[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1233293, member: 21394"] I think the root of the problem is when the speed limit is set so artificially low that EVERYONE is at least 10 MPH over the limit. I can't begin to tell you how many 3 lane divided highway segments in the Pittsburgh area have limits of 55 MPH. Everyone is doing 70. When the limit actually rises to the "design of the road", most people are surprisingly law abiding. There is an assumption that people will just go 10 mph faster than the limit, and it's not true. There are always those that push it, but speed limits that are set in accordance with design and conditions, are generally respected, as are those that enforce them. Ridiculously low limits and speed traps don't get much respect. [/QUOTE]
