The study concluded the increase of speed limits not only increases the speed of vehicles but can also generate additional deaths: "A 5 mph increase in the maximum state speed limit was associated with an 8.5% increase in fatality rates on interstates/freeways and a 2.8% increase on other roads." [95]
Michigan's speed limits on urban Interstates are typically higher than its adjacent states. For example, in the Detroit metro area, I-75 southbound enters Detroit at M-102 (8 Mile Road, exit 59) and maintains a 70 mph (113 km/h) limit all the way until the interchange with I-94 (exit 53), where the speed limit drops to 55 mph (89 km/h).
The legislation required 55 mph (89 km/h) speed limits on all four-lane divided highways unless the road had a lower limit before November 1, 1973. In some cases, like the New York State Thruway, the 50 mph (80 km/h) speed limit had to be raised to comply with the law. The law capped speed limits at 55 mph (89 km/h) on all other roads. [18]
I’ll also note that even though 15 mph seems to be the standard speed limit for alleys, the National Association of City Transportation Officials recommends a 10 mph speed limit for alleys.
Make “follows the speed limit” one of the good things you do for the world.

The actual overturning speed of a train is much higher than the limits set by the speed formula, which is largely in place for passenger comfort. There is no hard maximum unbalanced superelevation for European railways, some of which have curves with over 11 inches (280 mm) of unbalanced superelevation to permit high-speed transportation. [15]
There is a speed limit of 30mph clear through town, and all the locals know that we might get by going 5 over, but might not. One late night my friend was on duty when a man flew through town at ...
