I'm pretty sympathetic to both Amsterdam's 30km/h thing (and the campaigns for 20mph speed limits for most streets in many cities in the US) and Texas' 75mph-standard, lots-of-80 and -85mph areas policy. These are completely different situations. One is for rural highway (for 85, controlled access highway with underpasses/overpasses), the other is for city streets where people live, walk, bike, etc. Neighborhood streets in Texas don't have 75mph speed limits.
