In good conditions it is too low, in bad conditions it is to high. There is NO right limit, so the only way you will get improved safety is to educate drivers with what is safe, and this will never happen while they are slavishly following arbitrary limits. If there is no limit, and the uneducated driver see the majority ( who are experienced and capable of determining a safe speed ) driving at less, then they will learn to judge what is safe for the prevailing conditions, and the message will be consistent, unlike the present state of affairs where the limits enforce speeds that bear no relation to what is safe most of the time.

But for each road/ stretch of road to be evalueated & a safe speed limit be posted for that stretch of road The very simple answer is NOT to have a ‘blanket’ National speed limit.
