There is absolutely a very wide range of that counts as graded dirt road and therefore a wide range of what is a same speed.
It can range from 5 mph is a little too fast to 50 MPH is just fine.
Drove the Alcan 40 years ago (before it was paved). Admittedly many sections were graded gravel, but it was early in the season and quite a few areas were really dirt. Truckers were consistently driving 60+ MPH and I did not see a single accident on the 1500 miles of "unpaved" road.
