I've never had the close buzz on gravel I get on pavement.
It's amazing how regional this all is. 25 to 30 is as fast as a car or truck could possibly go on a lot of the dirt roads I ride on. Potholes, short sight lines, and consequences leaving the road (trees, cliffs, etc) keep everybody going slowly here.
