So we should set interstate speed limits based on surface street
conditions?  Certainly all arguments about high speed being safe fail
when you apply children playing, parked cars, side streets and limited
visibility to them, but no one has ever claimed higher speeds were
safe under those conditions.

Perhaps you felt like you got the deal of the century when you bought
that house with the yard facing onto an unfenced Interstate, but some
of us realize that kids rarely run out on Interstates.
