I live next to, and drive on, I-80. The speed limit is 75, with average speed running about 78-79. It does drop to 65 by cities, namely Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska.
I-80 is the main east/west corridor across the country, and there are times out on the open road that the traffic is like rush hour in Omaha. I can't imagine the chaos if they tried to slow everyone down to 55.
A few years ago, when we went to DC to visit our daughter, we drove instead of flying. We took I-80 east to Davenport, Iowa, then dropped down on I-74 and I-70 through Indianapolis. It was startling. As soon as we got off of I-80 it seemed like there was only about half the traffic, or less.
