Well, around here, in Seattle, highways have speeds from 35 to 50 MPH and people typically go 5-10 MPH less to avoid rear ending the car in front of them :)

Around here (Idaho), the highways have a speed limit of 55 to 65 mph, and the freeway has a speed limit of 65 or 80 mph. On any of those, you would have people backed up far behind you, if you drive 50 mph. Most people seem to go 5 over the speed limit at a minimum, an 7-10 over seems to becoming more common.

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.

 Certainly not true in my case.  If I drive my leaf on a highway at
50mph,
 I get 4 miles/kWh in nice weather.  City is about 2.5 - 3.  Almost
all
my
 driving is city.


50?!?  If I drove my EV on a highway at 50mph, I'd get honked off the
road!!
