   part of the problem. They want to accommodate the maximum volume of cars, with   
   little regard to safety. I remember the same winding road next to Woodbourne,   
   NY, changing the    
   speed limit wildly from 35 mph to 55 mph. If you followed those limits, it   
   would get you killed. But they figure nobody can follow such wild changes from   
   one section of the road to another. Same road! Hey, they are hiding everywhere   
   waiting for    
   unsuspecting drivers who failed to adjust from 55 mph to 35 mph.

   are. Sometimes they could be higher (40 mph within city limits) sometimes it   
   should be lower (20 mph). It's important that cars don't weave around other   
   cars and have slower cars    
   drive on the right. That's where the interaction with a bicycle occurs.

   According to some in here(rec.autos.driving) KRETP(keep right except to pass)   
   went out with Y2K fever.  I don't care.  I'll continue to use the left-most   
   lanes for passing only, and do my cruising in the right.
