55mph or 90kph is my ideal speed when moving 30,000 lbs down the road. Maybe it would help people understand if it was expressed in more familiar terms like feet per second. 55mph is 81 feet per second. How many seconds do you think it takes to get your foot from the gas to the brake pedal, then how many more to get you slowed to anything near a speed that will not kill, maim, or cause 10's of thousands in damages. Remember 80mph is 120ft/sec or 50% more than 55.
