Ron, where in Nor Cal are they setting these up? I just drove yesterday from Cal Berkeley (East SF Bay for you non-CA folks) to North OC. Even with a few rest stops we did it in 7 hours flat. Most of Interstate 5 is marked "Max Speed 70mph." I tended to waffle between 70-74 on my cruise control, and most of the time I was having to swing to the #2 lane to allow the occasional 75-80er go on by. Only saw one speed trap in both directions (a CHPer using lazer on the Grapevine...I was doing 74
in a crowd at that moment). Saw a few other CHPers nailing people with instant-on and any obvious offenders (i.e. a bright red NSX).
If my oldest kid ends up at Berkeley or Stanford,
it will be absolute torture to drive this OPEN stretch at anything slower than what I did yesterday.
P.S. 110 degrees plus that big honkin' dairy farm in the Central Valley = eye watering moments.
