I feel the 55mph limit in Cali is ridiculous. To me, a 15+mph speed differential is dangerous with one lane doing 55 and the other lane doing 70+. Traffic should flow together, it should blend. Has the 55 limit proven itself to do anything safety related?
Maybe there are some studies on this.. I don't know. I like driving no more than about 63. If 'everyone' is flowing at 75, no thank you.
If you ask me what's ridiculous, Caltrans won't install yellow warning lights on divided 55+ highways warning of an impending signal light change. You should see the skid marks.

Here in AZ, the limit is 75 for everyone with most doing 5 over.
If I have to do that to be safe, I'll avoid AZ. I wonder if they still have tailgaters in the left lane who want to do 100.
