August 26, 201313 yr I think the limits should be based on the # of lanes and where you are. For example, I like the 65 through metro areas and 75 through the less populated areas, if there are 3 lanes. Around here, doesn't matter what the speed limit is if there are only 2 lanes. You are at the mercy of volume vs. space and that math isn't good. If four lanes, I still like 65 in the metro but am ok with 85 in the rural.
August 26, 201313 yr Curious, so if they raised them to 80...and you already usually cruise at 78 right now anyway...would you find yourself going the same speed? Or would you, as BBFan stated, suddenly find your new "norm" needed to be at 88 or so? I'm exactly like madman and I can't speak for him but if it was raised to 80mph I'd still be doing about 75-80. That's my comfort zone.

Right. 70 means cruising, most likely without being pulled over, between 76-78. If you need to get somewhere quicker than that get a new watch.

Or would you, as BBFan stated, suddenly find your new "norm" needed to be at 88 or so? I would probably stay between 80-85. That seems to be my desired comfort zone.
August 26, 201313 yr My desired comfort zone is 60. I will go 70 of the speed limit is 70, but I really try to avoid routes that are 70.
