Yeah, it's a real problem. Personal example: I work just over a mile from home, most days I walk, but when the weather is crap, I drive. But, despite being wholly within a suburban area, the speed limits are 15mph (neighborhood), 35mph (suburban parkway), 55mph (suburban artery), and 20mph (office park). Likewise, my wife works about 8 miles from home, and cycles some of the time. But driving, the speed limits vary from 25 to 45mph, again with nothing but 2-lane suburban streets. I'd happily trade one of our full-size cars for an LSV or Kei equivalent, but it wouldn't be able to keep up on the short stretches where we need to go 45+mph (realistically, traffic is flowing at 50mph on many of these roads despite posted limits). Actually, we saw a Kei truck (Honda Acty) driving up the road the other day. This was a 50mph dual-carriage way in the suburbs (stroad-ish). Pulling away from a traffic light, it could barely keep up. But, for weekend Home Depot runs it's probably perfect otherwise.
