Going back to 2004 (the last year that the Federal Highway Administration has completed statistical analysis for) I found this interesting tidbit:

"Of the total number of speeding-related fatalities in 2004, 5,769 occurred on roads with posted speed limits between 55 and 65 mph, and 938 occurred on roads with speed limits above 65 mph."

Safety-wise, interstate highways are not the problem.
