I agree, the point I am trying making is that the highway speed limits are not used for safety despite this claim. They are being use as a revenue source at the expense of safety.
You're going to have a long road ahead making that argument stick. Especially in light of the insanely curvy sections of the Outer Loop between the bridge and the Mormon Temple, upon which going 55 can be pretty scary if you don't have a performance suspension.



I have seen many (not me of course ) take those corners at over 80mph. The traffic congestion generally occurs in this area when someone in the passing lane rides the breaks at 50mph causing a very unsafe "wolf pack" condition.




What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell
