Is anyone familiar with "rules of thumb" for determining speed limits? For
instance, a single lane road through a residential area should be posted at
25 miles and hour, a two lane road through a rural area (with both lanes
going the same way) posted at 55 miles and hour... and so forth...

Thanks!
