It would probably jump somewhat, if the speed was higher.

It has actually dropped since the 55MPH blanket law was replaced and speeds of up to 75MPH are allowed on certain highways.

I understand out west there are some highways that are not marked for speed limit at all.

You'd think that, because of decades of government propaganda, but several years back when Montana eliminated their interstate speed limits, traffic fatalities decreased.

The biggest problems with speed limits is that too many of them are artificially low.  People know how fast a safe speed is without nanny telling them what it is.
