There is no general speed limit but most portions do actually have specific limits.

And it's dynamic. Portions will switch from unlimited to limited speed based on weather, construction, or accidents far ahead, giving everyone time to slow down and merge away from a blocked lane.

And drivers actually follow the signs. As an American driver it's an amazing thing to see.

Speed control flashes are a common sight :).

You mean the ones that result in a ticket being sent to the rental car agency in the driver's name? Never heard of them. =)
