One thing that people forget when talking about speed limits is the physical infrastructure.
Feeling reasonable is directly correlated to the designed speed of the road, meaning it's an engineering problem. If a road isn't engineered to its specifications the speed limits imposed are merely a suggestion.
Yep, have a highway by me that is three lanes (sometimes 4), has good sized shoulders on both sides, median divider, and it's pretty much dead straight. Speed limit is 55mph but most people go 70 or more cause you can without issue.
