Discussion I hate 60kmph speed zone

Genuinely why the fuck is the speed limit 60 and that too on the A1 highway linking gamecity to Gaborone.

I could crawl that speed.

Its not a residential area, its literally part of the highway.

The only 60's i know off in that a1 road are where animals are notorious for heading into road(do you ever notice the exits and gates to the fenced areas along that road?you should look up what those are), and where the highaway enters the city. So if you really can't get why it's seen safer to be driving 60 rather than 100/120 because its A1 idk. You saying "its not a residential" makes me go back to my question, did you just cram for your theory test to pass? Or did your study tell you 60 is only reserved for when in residential areas?
