On I-95 between Baltimore and Washington, DC, the speed limit is 65. As I type this -- on a Sunday afternoon -- the vast majority of the speed sensors on that road show the average speed "Over 65
mph" (

(A slight hiccup would be something like a car pulled over, all by itself, no police, no ambulance, no tow truck, on the far right of the northbound lanes in the morning. The SOUTHBOUND lanes slow down for no good reason.)
