I-81 is one of the most heavily used trucking routes in the US. VA keeps bringing up adding more lanes or maybe a truck lane there but never takes any action.
The trucks make it unsafe to speed as they are frequently going 15-25 MPH under the speed limit to make it up the hills. If you are going 15 over and the truck is going 25 under now we have a speed dif of 40 MPH. People get killed on that road every week for this very reason. On the more than one occasion in the last five years whole families in SUVs have been wiped out.
If you want to drive 80 move to Texas or MT or some place else where it is legal.
