From NJ to Montana that's some difference. How is the big sky country with very little cars and speed limits?
I live in NYC--where I am now (actually Flushing) 1/2 of the year and Montana the rest.
I have relatives in Wayne and Lincoln Park, NJ. I also go to spinal cord injury therapy at Hackensack University Med Ctr--So have a decent knowledge of North Jersey.
When driving in Montana, the S/L is 75 on the interstate, 70 on US routes (like route 2) Most people there drive much faster (90 is NOT uncommon on the interstate) and Montana has the traffic fatalities to prove it. (3rd in the country--with 915,000 residents and 146,000 sq/mi of territory!) Besides, a lot of roads there can have ice or snow on them as late as July in the higher elevations (like Mountain passes) Montanans like to joke they have 4 seasons: Winter, still winter, construction, and almost winter! Add to that the tourons ("Tourist Morons") that travel Montana roads and it almost makes me yearn for the NJ Turnpike.
Here's the final bit: until a few years back--there was no speed limit per se on MT highways---it was called "reasonable and prudent"--problem was a drivers idea of R & P was a usually a bit different than the highway patrols, LOL!
