Average cruising speed on highways where you live?

Lady Blue03 · 02-08-2004, 12:09 AM

I was just curious...on my way down I-15 (most of which is 70mph speed limit) I had my cruise set at 85mph, in the lane to the right of the fast lane (4-lane freeway) and that seems to be the general traffic flow for the rest of the highways in the San Diego area. I know in places like Montana you can drive faster (i think). So whats it like where you live?

I4 seems to run around 80 mph in the fast lane, and from 60-70 in the 'slow' lanes
speed limit is usually 55 or so; up to 65 that i saw tho

In Kentucky, near Cincinati, it's about sixty-five on state roads that are straight (a select few), and 75 on interstates. Everything else depends on how curvy the road is...

(sorry, forgot about Metric System Counterparts...that was in miles per hour, so just multiply by 1.609 for "klicks")

I have conferred with several 'colleagues' of mine and we agree that, when cruising, it's best to stay under twenty miles per hour. Any more and you miss the guys you're cruising for.

Ok, seriously? Around seventy-five is the norm around here.

100 klicks - heading north to the big smoke, and 110 k's heading south to the wineries.
