- On numbered roads, whether expressed in numbers or written out, the speed limit will be that road’s number. I live close to 1st Ave where the “limit” would therefore be 1 MPH. Not a speedy choice.
- On named roads, the normal posted limit would continue to be the speed limit.
- Choose a starting and ending point, say your home to work, or to your favorite CostCo or Sams.
- Find the route that gets you there the quickest.
In Phoenix where N-S roads are mostly numbered, the farther out from Central (the center “zero” line), the faster you could go when traveling North or South. But since most E-W streets are named, you’d be stuck with the posted speed limit on those roads.

Provided with equipment, space and operating expenses by the National Security Agency (NSA), the museum is immediately next to NSA’s headquarters in Ft Meade Maryland. It contains many very nice examples of systems, starting with completely manual systems and progressing through mechanical, electromechanical and then some very heavy duty computer-based systems, both for the transfer of secret messages, and also for breaking open those secret communications.

So Tony Brong, seen here calling the line, said we would continue “old school” - he would call the “Fire!” and “Cease Fire!” on static targets.
