How fast should I drive on the roads here?
EDIT: Thanks for all the replies so fast guys! This has been a genuinely fun discussion to read and I learned quite a bit.
Sounds like an obvious question; the speed limit is how fast you should drive... right?
But ever since moving here 3 months ago from Montana, I have been eternally confused by how people use public roadways here. It does not matter the day of the week, or time of day. Half of the people I see on the road are going anywhere from 10-20 over, and the other half are going 5-15 under the respective speed limits.
This applies for both the highway and city streets from what I can tell. I'll have people blow past me in a 30 going 45-55 and people going 20 in the same 30. Not to mention the people driving 45 on the interstate alongside people going 80 or over.
Can someone spell it out to me? Should I be going 35-40 to not impede traffic? Will I get pulled over for that? Simply following the flow of traffic does not work in this city, since there seems to be no regular flow.
