| The 55 mph speed limit also wasted millions of hours of peoples' time for marginal results. On interstates accidents are so relatively few that the lower limit had hardly any imapct. Maybe a tiny state like NJ can get along OK with a lower limit as you can't drive much more than 3 hours anywhere in the state. Out west of the Delaware things get much more wide open and spending an extra three hours driving across Texas is not efficient or fun.
