-
- No. There is a national maximum speed law of 55 mph (88.5 kph).
- Certain interstate freeways (limited access, multi-lane, divided) in
- rural areas are allowed an exception, up to 65 mph (104.6 kph).
-
- The only place you may legally exceed this limit is on private
- property, such as a race track.
-
- There ARE areas where this speed limit is not enforced, or enforced in
- name only, such as the entire state of Montana. These areas do not
- exist in North Carolina, or, as far as I know, in California.
-
- Check with the locals out west for unpatrolled roads.
