~30 km/h seems like a low speed for cruise control. Where I live (eastern United States) roads with such a low speed limit are usually in residential or commercial neighborhoods, or on tricky sections of mountain roads. Are there long boring roads in Belgium with such low limits?

My Vauxhall Astra will set at 20MPH which is 2MPH~ more than the Audi.

30 km/h only when schools are nearby. There are long boring roads with 50 km/u. however. Most of the times you can drive 70km/h there, but not always :(

Some rural areas seem in a race to enact ever lower speed limits on dirt / gravel unpaved roads. I've driven many miles on boring dirt roads posted at 35 to get to hiking trails. Different states define unposted dirt roads as 55, 45, and 35, making this very exciting for travelers. Would not be surprised at all to see 25 posted or even 15 MPH for either safety or revenue enhancement. When things are dusty and I'm almost but not entirely lost, but in no hurry, 15 is plenty fast and cruise control might be nice.

There are areas where the limit is at 30km/h. These areas can be quite long indeed, but the most important is that it's really easy to get over 30, so activating the threshold is a good idea.

I'm in northern France just next to Belgium, where urban development basically forms long strings of city houses along the roads instead of well defined towns. Depending on where he is in Belgium it might be the same for him. Because of that, there are often very long stretches of mostly straight road limited to 50 km/h with regular 30 km/h sections in the more urban areas... cruise control is almost necessary if you really want to respect the speed limit.
