disagree. 55mph is very appropriate for a divided 4 lane federal highway.

There is certain criteria that is used to determine speed limits. I have no idea what it consists of. It's just my opinion based on years of driving.

I normally like higher numbers than posted and do go through closer to 60 when lights are green and traffic is light.

Still for some reason 55 seems too fast for the piss poor drivers of this day .... of which I might be one.
