Jorg, While many people confuse "Highway" with "Freeway", the definition of "Highway" is pretty clear in the Vehicle Code and essentially includes all streets open to traffic, not just Freeways, so the two are *not* interchangeable. Highway even includes unpaved roads.
For example the definition in the California Vehicle Code: ======================== 360. "Highway" is a way or place of whatever nature, publicly maintained and open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel. Highway includes street. ======================== I am regularly doing 50-55 on local Freeways when traffic is not busy and I make a point of keeping the right or the truck lane when doing so and carefully watch my mirror, probably looking more behind me than in front at those times, properly timing any lane changes based on traffic coming up behind me as to not unnecessarily annoy anyone.
