Speed limits come from all kinds of places, some without proper engineering. The small town near me turned a major road into a 20mph school zone for over 9 blocks. The school’s completely fenced ball field touches 1/2 of a block of road frontage. When I wrote the city, I was told they didn’t have money for the engineering study (that I showed them was suggested by the state that they do) and that I could pay for one myself if I wanted.

That's one of the types of thinking where anarchy comes from .... "We don't like the restriction and/or where it came from .... so to heck with us complying with it."

As for us in our RV on trips - I love at least this aspect of California: It's 55 MPH truck speed limit and 55 MPH towing speed limit allow us to RV travel in behind on of those who are obeying these limits and not get the finger when all the tensed up drivers speed pass us and the vehicle we're following. Our fuel mileage and relaxed nervous system are the beneficiaries.
