In residential area it is at the very least negligence on the part of authorities who set the limit

The claim was that 50mph should be the highest limit anywhere, including freeways.

Combined with a hard 50mph limit imposed on vehicles. You buy a new car, it can't go faster than 50mph, period.

The movement has roots in Ralph Nader going back to the 50s https://nader.org/1970/12/11/the-american-automobile-designe...

That's a little bit out there if taken out of context. On my street the limit is 15 KM/h, on most city roads it's 30 (again, KM/h, not MPH), but on the actual highways where only cars are present and where you don't necessarily need to be, the limit is over a 100.

Now I can probably understand how one can take such radical position, when living in a place that doesn't restrict cars as much as they are restricted here. It's like being so much disillusioned with US that USSR propaganda starts to be appealing and belieaveble. I guess?
