I think that's already understood, though I understand there are some
situations where this gets messy...Unless something changed on the ground,
I believe a pretty high number of miles in Montana could easily be tagged
along the lines of...

maxspeed=75 mph (or even none in some cases)
maxspeed:hgv=65 mph
maxspeed:night=65 mph
maxspeed:hgv:night=55 mph
