Our rural roads here in Japan are 60 at most, with most being 40 or 50. I don’t think I’d feel safe going a whole lot faster than that. Certain divided, multi-lane roads can get up to 80, but those are different to what I’m thinking of going to actual individual houses.
NZ has a similar land area to Japan, with five million people, mostly in urban areas, whereas Japan has something like a hundred million. We’ve got rural roads that are dead straight for kilometres, and you can drive for 10-15 minutes without a car coming the other way.
There are also much more winding roads where actually driving 100 would be suicide, of course.
I seriously wonder if some of the people here have ever been outside an urban area.
