[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's more a factor of stopping distance. Cars are designed to meet safety tests at particular speeds. It's quite a guess to assume some results for higher speeds. 55 in a 35 is ridiculous because the road is designed for sight lines with this speed in mind. The traffic engineers plan for people going some percentage over the limit, but probably not 66% over the limit. There is likely pedestrian traffic as well. 85 in a 65 is almost certainly within design tolerances for sight lines and road design. No one is regularly walking along an interstate.
