How fast do you drive through the Sunpass/Speedpass/Epass lanes?

The signs down here (Sunpass) say '25 MPH' but do you actually go that slow??

No need. :)

The only toll route around here is completely electronic, and there are no toll booths. You either have a transponder that activates as you go under one of the entrances, or your license plate gets it's picture taken and you get sent a bill in the mail.

It's pricey, but it works pretty well.

About 65mph through the kind without gates, if they have gates as fast as I can with out hitting the gate. :)

I'd kill for 25 mph, on my way back and forth through work the limit is 5... FIVE MILES PER HOUR!!! In rush hour its almost as slow as just going through the change lane, not only that but it is setup stupidly that you have to jump all the way over to the end toll booths to use the ezpass lanes which messes everyone up. At least once during my round trip daily I vow to kick the knees in of the man that engineered the layout.

Some trucker hit the divider thingys in downtown Dallas. They rebuilt it differently, so now 2 lanes going each direction have no dividers, and are only for tolltags..they are in the left lanes. I go through those at 60 or 70, sometimes a little faster..I've gone through the ones with dividers at close to that speed too :)
