Actual driving speeds
I think it would be helpful for a lot of people to know what the local acceptable speeds are. We all know 55 is a fantasy, so what do you really drive at home. Central NY is good for 57 to 63...

I used to travel on business to many, many states - and the one common thing I picked up was that there is a difference between city drivers and country drivers.
No I don't mean the roads and the amount of traffic. I mean the characteristics individual drivers generally have.
Country drivers will wait at a stop sign until they can not see anyone at all before crossing. City driver gauge how much room there is in traffic and if they can cross without getting hit.
For City drivers, the speed limit is kind of a suggested lower limit, but Country drivers see it as an absolute and it would be better if you left some room for error.
Country drivers aren't worried about the time it takes to get where they are going. City drivers want to spend the minimum amount of time traveling. "They got stuff to do!"
