Because I would like to go from Edmonton (Alta) to Toronto in under
50 hours, yet would still like to take the northern U.S. route, I
need to know a few things about the route itself.

The envisaged route, though sub-optimal, would take me through Montana,
N.Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 
and New York state.

   1) How are the Interstates in each of the 9 states for traffic?

   2) How strict are the police in each state about the double nickel
          limit when on an open highway with few other cars around?
          (I am hoping to be able to put the cruise on at 70 mph)

   3) Which of the states in question has laws against radar detectors? 
          (I realize that question may already have been answered in
           preceeding news but I was not paying attention at the time)

   4) Are there any potentially crowded areas that I should try to avoid
           during peak hours. (I understand Chicago freeways are filled
           all the time)

I post this to net.cycle also, because I know that cycles have a hard
time using radar detectors and so may be more aware of the police
situation than the rest of us.

Anyone answering may mail to ihnp4!alberta!sean unless they feel that 
their reply is broad and general enough to post to the whole net.
Please mail me any partial first hand information that you have, and
if I get enough to build a description of the route I will summarize 
it and post the results later in the year.

Thanks for your time.
