Actually, that depends entirely on the road and other conditions.
Around here, our land is super-flat. We have 20+ miles of gravel roads before our place. However, the gravel roads are often smoother to drive on than the paved roads, which are also in pretty darn good condition. Then it'll rain, gets nasty in spots, and then it's rougher in spots for a while.
In our instance, the roads are wide enough for (4) semi's to travel side-by-side without any of them being in the grass. There are also very few side roads, and there's ample room to see at each of those intersections. So it's not uncommon to see vehicles going above 55 on the road.
What gets me is, near our place the road is very narrow - BARELY enough room for a car and semi to pass in opposite directions!! Two semi's means they both are gonna be kissing grass with their passenger-side tires! Yet some folks still try to drive overly fast on that stretch as well.
Hills? Ain't no such thing in these parts. Someone posted a pic near their place a while back that was up-down-up-down, one hill after another, and you could never know what's on the other side until you crested that hill. Even then, you could only see about 1/2 mile ahead to the next hill, and there were driveways and side streets all over the place. Anyone doing 55 on that road ought to be shot! But, it happens. I very much like the suggestions that GlenIdaho had!! Lots of good, common-sense things there that can be done, and might actually make a difference. Will likely take more than just one or two of them, so will be something that you'll have to sink a little time and effort into. All depends on how dearly this topic is to you - how much it means to you to make the road a safer place - for everyone.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
