I got one of those ‘tickets’. Fifty miles west of Phoenix on I-10 in the middle of nowhere.
Spotter plane and five or so LEO vehicles and pulling people over faster than they could write the tickets.
Yeah. I also remember how the states of Montana and Wyoming enforced it— $5 fine and no point on the license.
Perfectly legal and obvious way for DC to control states which survive off of money-from-thin-air.

Many winding country roads are set at 55...was ironic to be able to travel them as fast as on the thruway...
