Most of the open roads (Interstates) are anywhere from 55-75 MPH depending on their proximity to populous areas. As a general rule, you can go maybe 7 MPH over the posted speed without raising the ire of local constables....but it differs from locales. In many OPEN areas of the country (Utah, etc) you can see many miles ahead so it's difficult for them to sneak up on you with radar and they're only lightly patroled. Other areas, typically small towns, will sometimes setup speed traps that are there for one reason only....revenue generation. Come to think of it, it's ALL for revenue generation! IMHO. Cameras are not an issue right now in the states for speeding, although we do have them for redlight runners.
Does Australia allow the use of radar detectors? Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kevinhawk.com Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750 Are there speed limits in all US States? If so, how do they vary? Lots of you talk about 80+ mph cruising..if we did that here in Australia, our licences would be cancelled (anything over 140 kph if one is caught). Apart from Northern Territory, which has no speed limit, normally we have 100 kph (62 mph) with the occasional 110 kph on our freeways in all States. Heavily policed by radar and camera!
