No one is traveling on a bicycle or walking here. These roads are empty, there’s nothing there. I live in one of the most rural places in the country (United States).

It was seriously 20 miles straight with no houses, wide road, 25 mph. In residential areas there are still 25 mph speed limits.

On our 4 lane road, bicycles are not allowed, yet the speed limit was only 35-40.

Where there are sidewalks, the speed limit is 25 mph. If there are buildings, 25 mph.

Empty roads with nothing but fucking trees should not be 25 mph.

In all of my years driving on those roads, I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a bicycle. A couple of those tiny, slow motorcycles, maybe. I guess they call them scooters
