I had a weird realization regarding my highway speeds the other week.

Part of my commute is on the PA Turnpike. Part of that stretch is very, very busy during rush hour, which is when I'm there. 3 lanes in each direction, zoom zoom. Cars are thick as thieves and moving fast. I find myself rolling along at the speed of the traffic around me.

A bit further down that stretch, almost all of the cars have taken one of the exits, and the traffic thins out considerably. I find myself actually *slowing down* at that point. Weird.
