One problem with driving on the interstate all day is I get used to driving at a high rate of speed. When I enter a city, I have to be careful to reduce my speed to adhere to the lowered limit. Drivers also have to be very careful to reduce speeds in construction areas to protect the workers. The fines for failing to do so are very high. Some states have installed signs with lights that flash when construction people in the area are working. That is a big help. Some drivers do not pay attention to speed limits, but I do not let those drivers who want to speed through a construction zone bully me into going faster. I do not want to get a ticket!
Happy New Year, everyone!!! Have a healthy 2013!!
