I thought about this recently --
The problem: each state sets its own limits.
I can go to Ohio with a 65 MPH max Interstate / limited access road speed, or Oklahoma with 75 MPH max. "55" was a Nationally-Imposed Limit during the oil crisis with mandatory compliance.
The population loves to speed. Whatever's posted is what a lot of people will do... and then some. Heck, David Lee Roth was passionate enough to sing a song about it (fun song I may add).
Aside from the congested urban areas, I propose reducing the highway limit by 5 mph, known to the local residents. You often have to do it when driving from state to state, so it shouldn't be that hard. 75 to 70, 70 to 65, etc...
Going back to 55 would be a big shocker, and met with lots of resistance.
