I don't disagree with that.
Yes I know the difference well. I've read a lot of speed studies pointed out by folks on this group. Fascinating stuff, and I don't disagree with what they say.

1) It "permits" 2) It sends a message that that speed is safe for that road.
Which buttertion? That many people tend to drive the posted speed limits, especially some inexperienced teenagers? I think that's true.
principles and
Which facts trump which opinions, guesses and preferences? What did I miss that is so obvious?
I didn't say anyone is advocating that. I'm saying that some people use the highways for that and want to be free of law enforcement so that they can use the highways for that.
What is incorrect? You are saying the purpose of the highways is to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible? Then there would be no limits at all. I totally agree with you that it doesn't need to be an either-or choice.
I didn't say that I'm opposed to setting speed limits correctly or that the 85th percentile is not the correct limit. I'm saying the speed limit cannot be set so high that it's beyond the capabilities of driver who meets mimimum qualifications. That may in fact be the 85th percentile speed. I am NOT say that speeds to to be set at the lowest speed that minimally qualified drivers choose to drive.
Thank you. I knew you could find at least one if you read hard enough.
