[i]How many drivers speed?
The majority of drivers exceed posted speed limits on many different kinds of roads, but the problem is greatest on freeways and expressways. National surveys found that on freeways and interstates 48 percent of free-flow traffic in 2007 and 72 percent in 2009 exceeded posted speed limits. 3, 4 Fourteen percent of all vehicles traveling on limited-access highways exceeded posted speed limits by 10 mph or more during 2007. The percentage rose to 20 percent during 2009. On other types of roads, proportions of drivers exceeding speed limits fell slightly in 2009 compared with 2007. Still, 13 percent of vehicles on major arterials and 15 percent on minor arterials and collectors traveled at least 10 mph over posted speed limits during 2009.

In a 2016 national telephone survey conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, nearly half of drivers said they had exceeded the speed limit by 15 mph on a freeway or by 10 mph on a residential street in the past month. 5[/i][/quote]
