What is the real speed limit on 101?
I moved back to SF in June after a year away, and noticed cars going faster on 101. Now, I'm regularly going 75. Did anybody notice this trend? Or was it my switch from Accord to Wrx in the meantime?

there is an engineering survay in the local traffic court that has the actual 'safe' speed limit. If you get a ticket that is above the posted speed limited but lower than the engineering survay, you are okay. OR, if the survay is more than 10 years old or something, you can get off the ticket simply by presenting the survay, which is available for public access.

In my estimation the speed limit on 101 varies from 55-80, depending on the asshat factor. I've been stuck on that damn road behind a wall of four cars doing 55 for miles.
