Except on the Garden State Parkway, where you're actually
parked, just wishing you were driving.

Sounds very much like the M25 around London - often referred to as
largest car park in the UK

It wasn't always so. Back in about '86 you could do 125mph on
the stretch between the M3 and the M4. And I have a ticket
and 6-week disqualification to prove it :-(
