I think they actually had to change the speed limit there to 25 so that the "Speed limit 15 MPH when Flashing" would make sense... That's the government for ya!

What worries me, Trillian, is that if the troops in formation are double timing, and you slow to 5 mph, you'll never get past! They might even outrun you.
