In particular more rural highways ( like 2 lanes each way, that lack lighting, and are less traveled). Route 9 in CT as an example, but few would know this road, but every state has roads like it.
Route 9 is posted at 65 mph, it's freshly repaved, lightly travelled, unlit, kind of in deer country.
This road should be like 90 MPH during the day, and 65 at night ! It's way worse at night, I once hit a shovel at night on this highway, came close to hitting a Christmas tree the other day, that fell off of somebody's truck, ( that would have fucked up a Honda)....of course every cop just drives by it, without tossing it out of the way ( was nearly in the travel lane ) . If I stopped as a good Sam to toss it over the guardrail, I'd probably get accused of losing the load. general road debris. Deer are a hazard too, but that's all at night.
Day and night driving conditions are not equal, speed limits shouldn't be either !
If anything make if 55 at night and 90 during the day !
