It ranges from 90km/h (on freeway in a reasonably built up area) to 100-110km/h going up the coast, and 120km/h on the brand new highway going down the coast. It's funny how amazingly slow 60km/h (normal city speed) seems after going at 120!

Legal speed limits range from 80 km/hr (roughly 50 mph) to 100 km/hr (62 mph), but nobody ever obeys it. Usually people travel from 20-30 km/hr over the speed limit. Even in downtown toronto, speeds over 140 km/hr on the 401 aren't uncommon.

Yeah Hark, I was just about to mention that. In germany on motorways (autobahn) there is no speed limit so you can go at 200kph if you like (and you have a damn powerful car

Around here, a typical highway is 70 MPH / 110 kph. Typical cruising speed is around 80 MPH / 125 KPH.
I've driven on the autobahn once. I enjoyed it, although I found I'm not really a left-lane kind of guy. Cruising at 140-160 kph was just fine for me, and when I drifted too far left, someone came flying up out of nowhere. Sent me right back into my place, he did... Now, if I had the chance to live there for a couple of years, I suspect I'd get my average speed right up where it belongs ![]()

80 ~ 90 mph here. however during night time people tend to go overboard. I usually drive mine at 240mph sometimes.

In Hungary the limit is 120 or 130 kph (I can't exactly remember), but everyone goes 20-30 kph over the speed limits.

Not ALL German highways have no speed limit IIRC. And still there is no such thing as speeding freely. I thought the restriction was somewhere around 160 km/h. Not sure though.

Total deaths on German motorways compared with the UK are 2.5 times greater.
