While I live in a small town of 500 with a 15mph speed limit. The cities it borders have speeds of 20-50mph depending on the road. I ride on all but the 45 n' 50mph speed limits. The 40mph speed is pretty much the standard speed limit in the county residential and business zones. There is one multi-lane arterial set at 50mph.

There are speed limits outside of town, 20mph, 25mph, 30mph, 35mph, and 40mph.

I take the lane on all those roads.

I take the lane in town because the road's complete(one side of road to other side) width is too small for a vehicle to pass on roads built for vehicles like a Model T Ford. Not a vehicle as big as a Chevy Suburban like a FedeX, or UPS truck.
