Is that traffic speed average for all lanes or individual lanes? I had my first highway driving experience in the US last week. I drove down to Boston (loved the city btw) on I-93 and back up on I-95. I felt perfectly safe doing 55 mph in the right lane, and I was not alone at that speed. Going 55 in the left lane would have been asking for trouble, but in the rightmost I was not far from the average speed on that lane.
