I've always said that speed "limits" should be strictly enforced - 40 mph speed limit means 41 gets you a ticket. At least then you would know not to exceed what is posted. Now, you're just guessing at how much you can get away with... depending on the mood of the LEOs on a given day. If an interstate posted speed limit is 70, there shouldn't be any drivers allowed to go 80 without being pulled over, but I see it all the time. In that case, raise the limit to 80 and ticket those going 81.
And so ends my rant.

+1. Hate that the trigger speed is a guess.
