Ah, ha! This explains all the old folks putting along in Florida on U.S. 1!Just the other day, a state cop pulled two elderly ladies over in front of my shop. When he approached the car, the lady that was driving asked "Why did you stop me, officer?" The officer informed her that he'd clocked her at just over 60 mph and this was only a 45 mph zone. The lady replied "But officer, the speed limit signs say 62". The officer then politely informed her that those signs were the route number, this road was designated as US 62 but the speed limit through this particular section was 45 mph. The officer then noticed that her passenger looked awfully pale, her eyes were really big, as if she'd seen a ghost and she appeared to be clutching her chest tightly. He inquired to the driver "Is your friend alright" and the elderly lady replied "Oh, she'll be okay....we just turned on here from route 157".
