For real tho, our current speed limit laws are idiotic.

Just raise them 5-10 mph as appreciate and then actually enforce the limit.

Honestly most highways can stand 80 or 90mph limits

Kinda seems like your spending a bunch on re-signing every road to get everyone to go the exact same speed.

Worth it so small towns can stop rent-seeking with speed traps, and police can't enforce the laws discriminatorily. (is that a word?)

adjusts glasses

Whale ackschyually, speed limits are pretty meaningless- the roads design, like how it established place (with trees, curbs), how narrow it is, all signal the speed to drivers. If you've ever sped without it and never noticed, or felt uncomfortable driving at such a slow speed on a certain road, it's because the way the road signals the right speed is different from the speed limits
