Can someone point on the section in the constitution that gives the federal government anything close to the power to do this?

Here's the Northeastern breakdown -
Good drivers: New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut
Bad Drivers: Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, (Virginia)
Unimportant drivers: Maryland, Delaware, Upper New England

Fezzy is right, we are the best drivers, our incredibly high insurance rates prove we brake for no one

If they have the power to own and maintain roads, obviously they have the right to regulate how you use them, too.

As to non-federally owned roads, I have no idea.

Yes, my question is more in relation to non-federal roads.  For example, I would venture to guess the busiest highway in NJ is the Garden State Parkway (I-95 is probably close though), which is run by the state.  How can federal government tell NJ how fast their roads can be?

Huh, in NJ its a NJ plate that symbols erratic driving.  And when driving in NY or PA, the motto is "Hey, I'm from Jersey, get the  out of my way"

Case and point of what Mr. Moderate said, if you drive 80 MPH on the New York State Thruway around the Catskills to Albany you'll get passed by numerous cars, at 90 MPH some traffic still goes around you.
