When most everyone is going 90 in an 80 speed limit how much room, on average are they leaving in front while behind another vehicle? I haven't seen those kind of speed limits at all so I am curious. Thanks in advance.
Keep in mind that in rural areas of Nevada traffic is relatively light, even on the interstates. I'd say most times there will be only 5-10 cars per mile. I've gotten used to the light traffic so those few times a year when I have to go to Reno and get into traffic that's bumper to bumper at 65 mph I'm terrified the whole time. Not used to that! On secondary roads traffic can be so light it might be miles before you see another vehicle.
You're looking at about 25 miles of highway here. How many vehicles do you see?
Its like that for me along I-70 going into town. Maybe not even 5-10 per mile and the speed limit is 80 mph.

I generally take the old HWY to town and back.
I did this video back in Aug 2011 and things haven't changed.
The guy on the ATV and the tractor both waved.
Its a pretty friendly place here where I live.
