As a resident of an Atlanta suburb with a divided 4 lane / 6 lane corridor posted 45, it is simply an unenforced suggestion. 10+ over is the constant traffic speed with frequent vehicles choosing to ride it as the autobahn. In the last few years I've witnessed many examples of drivers failing to follow simple traffic rules. Guess they feel it's acceptable to drive any way they wish since there's no threat of a police citation. I'm not in the category of "the need for speed", I'm in the category of not wanting to pay fines to anyone.
We also have the problem of cell phone attachment. This state has a no texting and driving law on the books yet drivers with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the phone is rampant. There's no enforcement of that law occurring either.
This is not nearly as bad as say driving in South Florida where it's everyone for themselves. I can say that since that's where I grew up and every visit provides more than a few "oh cuss did you see that" moments on the road.
