>>>not where i live - El Paso, highway speed limit is 60 mph, City side streets 35 and bigger streets are ussually between 45 and 50.

>>Same here except on the freeway (4 lane divided highway with no intersections, only on/off ramps) it's typically 65-70mph speed limit and the rule is: no mattter the road, go 5 mph over the limit. Anymore, and you will get pulled over. Any less, and you are holding up traffic.

>Hehe - that 5 mph (actually i heard 5% before) rule i think is international :-) - just not here in Las Cruce, New Mexico :-(
