State Speed limits
Canada may have the same laws, but:
Most states require you to change lanes away from stopped emergency vehicles, or to reduce speed when passing them.
Lights on in the rain.
That is one of the better lists. However, it is incomplete, at least as far as California laws are concerned. In CA, ANY "towing unit" ( motorhome/toad, car/utility trailer, truck/fifth wheel, truck/travel trailer, etc.) must obey the 55 MPH truck speed limit.
Here in Montana, there is no such requirement. However, it is required by law (MCA 61-8-311(2)) that, on a 2 lane highway, in the event that there are 4 or more vehicles behind you, you MUST pull over at the first safe place to allow the "trapped" vehicles to pass you.
