I was about 8 when my folks left Arizona for NYC by car, the speed limit
then was 65. I remember vividly a stretch of roadway in New Mexico, we 
were doing ~70 and had not seen a car going in either direction
for about 3+ hours (We did see a lot of sand though :-}).

	The point that I am trying to make is that the speed limits
should be dependent on the road conditions, and the location of said 
roadway. If you have ever driven on Long Island, you would know that
it is almost impossible to do 55, let alone drive above the speed limit!
(If you don't know, the LIE could pass as the largest parking lot on
the east coast :-})
