Not far from here, there was a report about a car stopped in the travel portion of the road. An officer arrived and determined the car wasn’t stopped, but was moving incredibly slowly. He stopped the car and asked the old lady driving if she knew what she was doing. “I know exactly what I’m doing,” she said, pointing at a nearby sign, “I’m driving the speed limit.” The officer replied, “That’s not the speed limit; that’s the route number. You’re on Route 1. The speed limit is actually 50 MPH here.” Then, looking in the back seat, he saw two other old ladies huddled together and quaking in fear. “What’s wrong with them?” he asked the driver. “I don’t know,” the old lady at the wheel replied, “but we just turned off a road where the speed limit was 543…”

Jim Croce, Speedball Tucker, circa 1973 “95 is the route you were on, it was not the speed limit sign!!”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEo06UdN9vI

That far over the speed limit, someone’s going to jail!

That explains why traffic is always slow on Interstate 5.

How do we know this didn’t take place in Montana or Nevada, where the speed limit on outstate highways was “reasonable and prudent”?
