As for the USA, the area I am in is 25MPH residential, 45MPH streets and 65 highways.

30 km/h is a
School Zone limit...speaking of which:
I had to travel to South Haven MI (home of GingerMan Race track) in the middle of the night. I was warned about one particular hamlet, with NO stop lights, and how aggressive the local cops were about that demon, SPEED. At 1:30 AM, and with me the ONLY car passing through that town, I came upon a
School Zone - 20 mph. I slowed to EXACTLY 20 mph and out of NOWHERE came a cruiser, who proceeded to weld his front bumper to my back bumper... I couldn't see his headlights; that's how close he was! I continued @ 20 mph...until the end of the Zone, and then gradually increased to 30. Still welded together...for about 100 yards, and then he u-turned back to the Zone.
Good thing I wasn't a menace to society...but HE was...
That, folks, is text book "revenue generation"...or at least an attempt at such.
