On one route I take while commuting, there's a freeway that turns into a highway with three lanes in each direction plus a median. On the freeway the speed limit is 60 mph; when it dumps into a surface street, the speed drops to 45 mph. This is about where I join in, riding on the wide shoulder. The limit drops further to 35 but most people ignore that... except on school days where the limit is 20 mph at the point where I have to make a left turn (there is a school one block from the highway, so there's a school zone on the highway). I love being able to navigate to the left turn lane as an equal; it rocks.
