Google found this handy chart: https://driving-tests.org/road-signs/speed-limit-sign/

In my home state, rural roads are typically 55-65 mph.

You should get out more. You're welcome to ride with me in rural MO, TN, AR, IL, and the dozen or so other states I visit and ride. When I control the lane, cars move over and pass. When I right FRAP, I get close passes at 75 mph. I see lots of other riders doing the same.
