i ask this because in NY, the default speed limit in rural areas is 55

do not have posted speed limits, but where driving at 55 is not
reasonable unless you're a rally driver and the road is closed.
Pfft, I was taught to drive on gravel roads, and they can be perfectly
safe to drive on at 100km/hr in places, but you have to be familiar
with the stretch of road you're on and drive for the condition etc.
and you know, i have rally & racing experience, and 70 mph on dirt doesn't
scare me, but i'm not every driver and you haven't seen these roads.
what i'm after are parameters so that the routing engines present
rational results to drivers who aren't me. so why don't we focus on
the actual problem in front of us instead of posturing about our
driving skills.
