We have no limit on the motorway, there are ofc restrictions in some areas but generally you can go as fast as you like in some areas. Okay I'm not a speed freik hardly ever exceed about 180 km/h unless I'm blue lighting but I think you can't go over 50mp/h if I remember rightly.....that's very slow. 180 think that's 110 in mp/h is my mororway cruise speed that may sound fast but it's actually pretty grandpa slow and I get overtaken quite a lot!

WOW! Bash that is highly informative and quite impressive. I would have never considered New York as I only see it on Television as big and bad city where horrible things may happen. Now am really confused as to where I should go, my thoughts were initially Alabama but thats only because I like the song. But thanks, you have sold me can't wait for covid to end and my covid, am in week 2, and travel. You have seriously taken some time and thought into that post and I do appreciate it very much. Thanks
Yeah, thanks to TV and movies everyone thinks New York starts and ends with the city. NY State is drastically different than NY City.
A good start point to see NY would be to fly into Syracuse NY. It's dead center of the state and fairly easy access to everywhere. If your more inclined to check out the Adirondack mountains, Albany NY would be a good starting point.
Other locations around the USA have some really cool stuff, but NY (IMO), can offer a nice compact vacation. There is a wide variety of things to do, and most are free and not a ton of driving between things. (Well not much driving by US standards :-) )
Most Interstate Highways(on the east coast), speed is at least 65mph(~105kmh), but you can do 70mph(~112kmh) without worry about getting a ticket usually. Secondary roads are limited to 55mph(88kmh), but again, +5mph is usually acceptable. The more west you go, they raise the limits to 70mph, 75mph, and in Montana their highway hits 100mph, but I've heard most people go "fuck all".
But yeah, we don't have any of those speed signs with the pretty three gray slanted lines signs anywhere.
