I'll be honest, I'm more interested in speed limits and road design within cities than I am in rural areas. But this is still a major loss for evidence-based policy. We're not talking lowering the speed limit on major highways, just on minor, often poorly maintained, rural roads.

just on minor, often poorly maintained, rural roads.

Sounds to me like the fix there is to better maintain rural roads, rather than lower the speed limit and let them further deteriorate?
