Traffic Optical Illusion

Interstate 95 (i-95) has a speed limit of 55 miles per hour (mph); that means that at any given time, a motorist cannot legally drive faster than 55 mph. i-95 also happens to have a minimum speed requirement of 40 mph, meaning that a motorist cannot legally drive slower than 40 mph, unless it’s otherwise marked (construction zone). So, the question is this: if drivers on i-95 are required to drive between 40 mph and 55 mph, what should happen during my daily commutes, when most drivers are cruising along at 15 mph? Can I place the driver in front of me under citizen’s arrest? Probably not. What a gyp, after investing over two hours each day in what can only be called mobile parking while going to and from work. What’s even worse is that I consider today’s evening commute to be good because it was less than an hour long and I didn’t have to use first gear while on the highway. My commute is 31 miles long. Someone should be arrested for that.
