   Motorists will speed regardless of the road they're on, be it a narrow windy   
   mountain road, a local residential street with kids playing, or a real   
   expressway.   
      
   That's the psychological nature of motorists.  They're quite fervent about   
   it--go see their responses on the highway newsgroup.   
      
   As a side note, master highway builder Robert Moses was strictly opposed to   
   high speed limits.  His original parkways were NOT for speed and had low   
   limits.  But motorists groups sued in the 1950s and forced him to raise his   
   speed limits.
