Fastest car in the fastest way in the U.S. reached in at 94 mph heading north on highway 79 in Arizona, the Saguaro National Park and Phoenix this year, according to INRIX, operational data of the company that monitors vehicle speed via GPS data. This 39-mile stretch – two lanes wide and almost flat along its entire length – the fastest drivers regularly reach speeds of 87-90 miles per hour. Arizona is 75 mph speed limit on rural Interstates and 65 mph on urban Interstates.
To find America’s fastest roads, INRIX first looked at the sections of road where motorists routinely floor, then found speed range at which each road the fastest 5% of drivers travel. INRIX multiplied that number by the length of roads to decide the final ranking. The result is a list of roads, where drivers put the pedal to the metal at relatively large distances. INRIX is counted separately in the same street in different paths.
INRIX drew information from its crowdsourced intelligent control network that consists of anonymous data collected GPS points from 5 million drivers of consumer and commercial vehicles nationwide from January to 15 June.
This year, the fastest will be a little slower at all levels: the average speed over 10 the fastest roads in America was 81 mph, compared with an average of 85 mph over the same period in 2010.
“High gas prices slows driver, “says spokesman Jim INRIX Bak, who think that drivers are putting on the brakes to improve fuel economy.
Tom Kloz, oil and gas expert information service on oil prices, they think more likely explanation is that high gas prices works in conjunction with the poor economy and high unemployment, so that more young drivers – who tend to speed and to engage in risky driving behavior – from the road.
Demand for gasoline in the U.S. declined from last year can be notes Kloz who think that the cash-strapped drivers aged between 16 and 25, the felling in the proceedings on the basis of necessity. Those who remain on the road may be older, and so slower.
Another factor: The police seem to work harder to enforce the speed limit. Arizona is on route 79, Tim Gaffney, a spokesman for the Office of the Pinal County Sheriff concerning the highway is particularly fast stretch, says that gas prices and “difficult details of speed enforcement,” affect how people drive.
Although Americans are exceeding speed limits, as they were last year, INRIX says that seems to be faster on the straight.
“If drivers drive more slowly, on average, to conserve fuel, we can see how they go faster at the end of paths that are trying to create,” says Bak. “Many of our fastest roads this year are open to the sections just before entering large urban centers. “And to stretches of road a bit chronically congested areas like Los Angeles and New York City, traffic is moving much faster than normal, Bak said.
