LOL. We get all that in Raleigh, although of course not nearly as many tornadoes, ice storms, and the heat waves are less extreme. We have brown recluse spiders here too. The one thing he won't experience there Is hurricanes though .

For my event today, I had to drive on 476 North - past the mid-county toll booth in Montgomery County, where that was a lot of construction before, it's now a 3-lane road, and the speed limit is 70 (!!!) mph.

Never ever seen a 70 mph speed limit in PA. The only time I ever saw it was driving in Virginia & North Carolina. NJ, PA, DE, NY, MD... like the whole northeast the highest speed limit is 65. PA must have recently changed it.

I thought 70 was a common highway speed limit! Here it used to be allowed to go 5 above so if the limit is 70 you can go 75. Now it's anything above the limit you get ticketed, even if 1 mph.

Ukrainian and German hools have clashed big time today in Lille. The Russians and English have fought for 3 days in Marseille, and now this. Poland and Croatia haven't even started their 'tournament' yet. Rumour has it that all of the worst of the worst of Sweden are also travelling down. The locals especially in Southern France have not been happy about the presence of foreign fans, and in Marseille and Nice the locals have confronted rowdy foreign fans.

Not common in the Northeast US; didn't realize it was common in the rest of US until I traveled in the Midwest and looked it up. There's a stretch of I-93 with a 70 mph limit in northern New Hampshire. Part of I-95 in Maine has a 70 mph limit and the most remote stretch a 75 mph speed limit. Most of downstate NY has a 55 mph limit, with the city itself 50 mph on the highways with a few as low as 45 mph.

Eh, in Vermont on I-91 I sometimes go 70-75 mph; I'm not the only one.

Highest speed limit here is 65 MPH, though some people seem to push 90 on the rare occasion there isn't a massive traffic jam.

I generally go between 70-75 MPH.

I had thought state law in NJ, PA, DE, and elsewhere limited highways to a maximum of 65 mph.

Last time I looked at this page, PA was definitely colored with the 65 mph group. I thought Maryland was, too - but I'm not there that often so I could be wrong.
