Been on those roads - without traffic people fly. Utah and WY - you can see for miles straight - kind of like I40 from El Paso to Austin - people fly.I25 between Colorado Springs and Denver. People average about 90+.
I80 in Wyoming and Utah have a speed limit of 80 and at that speed even the big 18 wheelers are going 85+. Everyone else is going 90+.
I’ve also done multiple road trips and most people are doing 85+. In fact just drove from Denver to SF this weekend. We pegged AP at 85 and we’re mostly being passed constantly.
Problem is, most people can't drive well - and recovering from a slide, stoppage in traffic, a sudden downpour that floods the road, an evasive action, avoiding a deer/animal/object on the roads at high speeds is usually not recoverable for the average drive over 80+ mph (let alone 90+). See that way to many times in my life. I try to avoid those accidents and stay away from the incompetent drivers.
