Probably 35 is about the fastest you can safely drive on gravel around me. And that is only at certain times/brief moments when the road is totally flat and in good condition. I cant imagine vehicles going fast on gravel here- thatd be a recipe to end up in a ditch.
Good that they give you plenty of space- that seems to be something thats fairly universal on gravel.
