You weren't one of those bastards who drives under the speed limit in the left lane, were you?

75 is probably the highest I've seen...I have this vague memory of 80, but I can't substantiate it.

british columbia?

I saw 70 in GA the other day when I rode down to Duluth/ATL.

 

[imported_KuJaX]

During long stretches of desert here in Utah, the posted speed limit is 75.

 

[Cruise51]

I vaugely remember seeing an 85 limit a couple years ago in Kentucky or Tennessee.

 

[ZetaEpyon]

75mph many times driving across South Dakota.

Nothing like cruising across a state at ~84mph. :thumbsup:

70 is pretty standard in Texas. Montana had no speed limit for a while. It was something like, drive a safe speed.

ive seen a 70 here in nc, i think

the road i live on was a 55, then they repaved and changed it to "resume safe speed"

people, usually, actually drive a safe speed on it.

 

[Unheard]

70 Throughout most of the South East.

Montana in the "reasonable and prudent" days was fun to drive in. Of course I only had my license for a brief time at that point.

And I got pulled over going 95 on a nice and clear sunny day. I was reasonable and prudent, with no car in ahead or in back of me for a mile.

Where were you at? Had to know where to drive fast even with the "no speed limit" days. Some towns cops are notorious. Also, if you were in the mountains/hills they didn't like anyone going above 85 really. Too many twists.

 

[zanieladie]

I could be mistaken...but I thought that there were limits of 80 back in the 1970s...

 

[ViviTheMage]

ive seen 75 somewhere in minnesota

 

[WildHorse]

70 or is it 75 in Cali between Paso Robles & King City

I heard there used to be no limit in someplace like Wyoming or Montana, don't remember which one exactly. They called the limit "R&P" for whatever speed was "reasonable & proper."

There are no limits where I go..

 

[aircooled]

75 is the highest number I've seen on a speed limit sign. 70 is the highest in my state.
