I'd be fine with a strict 60 mph limit in urban areas..........the time saved by going 70 mph over the course of 35-40 minutes is really minimal.

This afternoon in rainy/icy /sleet weather, the guy who passed me at 85-90 on the free way ended up being the main cause of a traffic slowdown after he hit two other cars and caused a major back up.

Laws of physics say it loud and clear: you can't drive 90 on ice and expect to be able to stop as if the pavement were dry...
