    Does it take some kind of special mental capacity to follow legal speed limits in streets that perceivably could be traversed faster?

    In fact yes it does you practically need to be a superhuman: Narrow streets feel unsafe and drivers automatically slow down. In the US speed limits, where they don’t build streets according to the intended speed but much wider, are set to lower than what the engineers want you to drive at because they expect speeding.

    US speed limits are also inconsistent, and the signs announcing them are practically invisible. Have a video.
