OK, let's do that.

  60 is plenty on Highway 18, especially during these wet fall and icy winter months

    60 as a limit on any controlled access road is an absolute joke.

  It turns out to be more difficult than people want. to be certain, some speed limits are low for bad-science reasons. But the other issue is that the speed limit isn't set for the average case; it's set for the safety-limit case. As one highway engineer's blog put it colorfully (paraphrasing from memory): they aren't set to keep your decently-well-maintained 4-door sedan with tires installed this year on the road; they're set to keep the 18-wheeler driven by a sleep-deprived trucker at night during a light drizzle on the road when one of their tires blows. Variable speed limits that adjust automatically with weather and lighting conditions can help, but the signage to indicate them costs money... Way more money than a static metal road sign.
