| This Driving in the United States is very region dependent. In cities it's everyone for themselves. Lots of speeding and general shenanigans. Especially Boston, Philly, NYC, Baltimore, SF, LA, DC, and Miami. In the mid west drivers are generally more laid back and follow the speed limits more. In rural parts of the Northeast like upstate NY and PA you'll find drivers a lot like Germans. Stay right, pass left. PA turnpike has a speed limit of 70 but it's normal to see people doing 80-85 especially on I-80. But I-95 near Philly is even worse. Posted speed limit of 55. People doing 80 regularly in the left lane. This is basically almost autobahn speeds. For the non-mericans: 80 MPH ~= 128.748 KPH American roads are all over the place as far as maintenance goes. The interstate road between NYC and Philadelphia is extremely high quality and you can easily hit 120 MPH (193.121 KPH). |
