> The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA.

Depends entirely where in California. LA is a good 15-20 mph over, San Diego is more like 10-15 mph over, and the South Bay Area is more like 0-5 mph over (which drove me crazy coming from LA)

The pandemic was amazing for traffic. Flying up the 101 to SF at 95mph.

That's why the Cannonball Run article has a chapter [0] dedicated to the pandemic.

Agreed more or less (lived in all 3), although South Bay can be a tossup. I've felt slow doing 80 and fast doing 70.

Google Maps claims that much of the bay’s 101 is 55 mph. I don’t know if I believe that, but if true then it’s standard to do 20 above here.
