Too many roads are built in ways that encouraged speeding and make it feel comfortable.

A big part of the problem here is that speed limits are specified as the maximum speed on which the largest vehicle can safely traverse the road.

Example: Design a road where you can comfortably cruise at 35-40MPH, curves and everything, in a minivan full of kids and gear? Well too bad, that road is now 25MPH and radar-patrolled because a tractor-trailer can't do 40MPH around one of the curves.

So you have these great, swooping roads with ridiculously low speed limits, because one trucker somewhere is a brainless dumbfuck and refuses to understand how physics works.
