It's also cultural. Country roads in my country are 90 km/h and unless it's dangerous, that's what you would do on them. Which means speed is lower than posted in tight spots and curves, but not normal roads.

    That's pretty much the UK really. Only you are very rarely able to get close to the 60mph limit at all, let alone safely.

    The are more dangerous by statistics. Some random links:

    I love these roads and the British countryside, but it is definitely an eyes wide open environment. Certainly can be a shortcut, but often SatNavs without traffic info, use them when they really shouldn't. You used to often see signs telling people to ignore their SatNavs and not take this road, but it's less of a thing now as everyone just uses Google Maps. Basically, I want that traffic info as public access for all SatNavs. Not locked away.
