The limit is up to 80 in some western states (Utah, Idaho, etc).

In Nevada and I believe other states before the 55 MPH speed limit was instituted, "reasonable and proper" was interpreted pretty broadly and might have exceeded 80 under good conditions.

85 in parts of Texas Hill Country too.

Those wide empty roads going 55 feels like 30mph.
