I see what you guys are saying and that is the way I operate currently. I just don't think I should need to. It's sad.
Do you turn yourself in to the police if you accidentally go 1mph above the speed limit?
What you need to realize is that government and law officials generally make the law cater to either their needs or corporation needs. Even though they have written the law in their own favor, even they rarely follow the law. Politicians and law officials are about corrupt as it comes.
My point is there is not a single person without sin (nothing about religion here. Just a fact.) Usually the ones that write and enforce the laws are among the worst offenders.
I'd say going 1 mph above the speed limit is still a risk. A police officer can still pull me over for that and be in the right legally. I think there is a range of what I can consider to be low risk, but that doesn't mean its zero. The only zero risk scenario is doing nothing, which is completely lame and annoying.
You need to trust the government's judgement to consider it a risk. What if the speed limit is 25mph in a rural wide open area. Are you still at risk if you go 26mph? Or are you just in risk of getting caught?
It's a risk because regardless of what I believe there is a consequence

Depends on the state. In Texas you are only able to be puled over if you are endangering people regardless of the speed.

There are consequences to going the speed limit too.

That reminds me of my old Executive Director. She opened up questions about people needing to go 55 mph and maintain the speed limit on the Garden State Parkway (which I know you've driven on @scottalanmiller ). I asked why we're made to go the speed limit when it's 20-30 mph slower that the rest of traffic and that in defensive driving courses they teach you to go with the flow of traffic even though it may be over the speed limit. Going slower is just as dangerous as going faster.
Nothing was ever done.

It's an interesting topic. Thanks for talking to me guys. Once Westworld comes back I won't have the luxury of even thinking about this because I'll be filled with existential dread. I still love that show.

In NY the law is "be safe" and it overrides all other laws.

Apparently NJ doesn't work that way. Kind of like how you need to make 3 rights to make a left

it is way safer to not cross traffic.

We'll agree to disagree.

I there there is a better argument against cloverleaf interchanges, the crossing there is done at high speed with no traffic lights.

A jug handle isn't a cloverleaf though--two different types of turns. They are all over NJ. We're the only state I know of that has adopted them so crazily. You'll almost never make a left in NJ on a major road practically.
Lunch time!

Same in Texas, but different way of handling it.

I prefer Spain's approach with round-a-bouts everywhere. They are SO fast and safe.

Maybe the safety comes over decades of driving them. I hate them! and I've been hit almost 4 times since I moved into my neighborhood with them, almost hit while in them.

How does someone get hit in a circle? They are so easy and safe. Are people running the yields or something?

Of course.
That's going to be the same problem anywhere. Honestly, when I was driving through Nebraska a few weeks ago I literally had never seen so many people run red lights and go left against oncoming traffic. I dont know if circles are an issue as much as where you live. I had commented to several people that as soon as I got to Nebraska the drivers were terrible and I almost had several accidents (none at circles) and it was fine the moment I was out of Nebraska.
-
I think running a yield is a problem to be associated with running yields, not the circle beyond the yield.
