Also, 100mph probably isn't a realistic speed limit, but 75-80 is. Is that too fast?

Re: National Speed Limit

But along the I-95 corridor, where it's really busy, 75 or 80 would be irresponsible. The grandmas will still stick to 50 MPH, and now you'll have people stretching the higher speed limit and going up to 90. That's too much of a speed differential between the grandmas and the speedsters. You'd have too many deadly accidents, all so we could get someplace 10% faster. Not worth it. You can't make speed limits a national thing and apply them to all interstates anywhere. If you tried to make I-76 here in Philly (the Schuykill Expressway) an 80 MPH road, it'd be complete suicide to drive on it. There are no shoulders in many spots; there is a concrete median in the center with no shoulder, and hardly any shoulder on the right, nestled right up against cliffs. Speed limits need to be set accordingly with local driving conditions in mind.
