speed limits are set by state law.\n\nany police jurisdiction in which the interstate runs though has police jurisdiction.\n\nif it runs though a city, city police can radar there,  in the county, the sheriff can patrol there, and of course highway patrol can patrol there also

Hawaii's Interstate routes were an outgrowth of the statehood movement that culminated on March 18, 1959, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation making Hawaii a State.\n\nThe decision to designate Interstate routes in Hawaii may become clearer by adding that the Interstate System is more than just a series of connected highways. It is also a design concept, with highways designed to handle high volumes of traffic safely and efficiently at freeway speeds. Moreover, the Interstate System is not limited to routes passing through two or more States. Many Interstates, such as circumferentials/beltways and spurs, are confined to one State.

One would think interstate commerce would involve multiple states, but commerce that occurs entirely within one state can be considered "interstate commerce" for constitutional purposes.\n\nSee Wickard v. Filburn, or the more recent medicinal marijuana case Gonzales v. Raich.\n\nIn those cases, wheat (Wickard) and marijuana (Raich) that were never sold and used solely by the growers were both considered to be part of "interstate commerce" and could by regulated by Congress, because they might have an effect on interstate commerce if all people acted in that manner, it would affect interstate commerce in wheat or marijuana

Yes. The roads are goverment property, and a goverment officer (police) can set up a road block if they believe that it will prevent property damage, loss of live, or major injury. It's legal anywhere.

I believe the question was for legislative information, as opposed to current statutes and regulations.  You can find that at:\n\nhttp://thomas.loc.gov/

Contact the state Department of Transportation for information on what restriction exists for the road of your state.

I am a 3rd year law student and the answer is pretty much "yes". After a long line of cases after the Burger Court, the Court has been very deferential to allowing Congress to regulate activities "affecting, involved in or substantially affecting" interstate commerce. There are certain situations where it would be blantatly out of Congress's power to regulate (like something purely intrastate) but for the most part, Congress can regulate about any activity that has a substantial affect on interstate commerce.

I believe the process may be different from state to state. For example, if somebody driving a car with tags from Alberta (Canada) and gets pulled over and is cited by the Florida Highway Patrol for speeding, it's less than likely that the issue will be pursued after the court summons is sent from Florida to Alberta, which is quite a distance, around 3,500 miles. Conversely, if somebody from Montreal is pulled over from the New York Highway Patrol on I-87 (which is only about an hour's drive away), I've read somewhere that certain border states have treaties with border provinces to pursue the offender. \n\nPersonally, I had such an experience, and here's how it went down:\n\nI was living in a Southern state (say, maybe immediately north of South Carolina) and was driving to Montreal, Quebec, to visit some friends. Despite my radar detector use, a Pennsylvania State trooper, using instant-on radar (which pretty much renders your radar detector useless), nabbed me at 87 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. At the time, I had just obtained my driver's license from the afore-mentioned southern state, but I still also had my driver's licence from Quebec as it hadn't expired yet. On a whim, I gave the trooper my Canadian driver's licence, and he used that info to ticket me for $230. The trooper was actually pretty cool about it by telling me that "...if I didn't pay, they weren't gonna come chasing me all the way up there." Well, having little money (and no scrupules), I didn't pay the ticket, which was sent to my Dad's address in Canada. Six months later, an arrest warrant in my name was sent to my Dad's place, which was in effect for 24 months. For obvious reasons, I stayed the hell away from PA during that time, the arrest warrant expired, and my speeding ticket erased from the records of the PA State Police. Actually, I still kinda tighten up my PC muscles as I travel through PA to this day. Please don't tell on me! :)
