The minimum speed that should be even considered safe to travel at, unless weather conditions are that messy to deem otherwise.
Speed Limit 55 on the Interstate means driving below that speed can be considered an impediment to the flow of traffic.

A little white sign that scares the living daylights out of most drivers, causing them to clog up the fast lane and make me late for work.
"I'm trying to pass these slow drivers so I can get to work on time, but this guy is going the Speed Limit in the fast lane. Get over on the right you cornhole!"

The speed at which a cop won't pull you over in Michigan. Usually 5-10mph over the posted speed limit on main roads and 15-20mph over the posted speed limit on highways. If you don't maintain this speed you will have a line of cars behind you, each within three feet of the car in front of them. If you feel like driving under the posted speed limit and the weather conditions are anywhere near decent, then you better just pull over and let people pass you.
Mike: Hey dude, you're going way too fast, slow it down.
Nick: Naw it's alright, the Michigan speed limit on this road is 65.
Mike: Yeah I know, but you're doin' 90.
Nick: Oh. Yeah I should probably back off.

Heine: Look at Speed Limit Steve here, can we drive at least 45 on the highway?
Koup: Hit the bike lane and go around him...

Refers to a driver who insists on driving only at the speed limit and no faster, regardless of the current driving conditions or lane. Usually encountered when one is late or in a hurry. Variant of the term Speed Demon.

Commonly seen on highways, it is when someone drives 10-20 kilometers above the speed limit or more, depending on how much ice is on the road.
When not driving this limit the hundreds of drivers that pass you will look at you sternly or think you are crazy for driving too slow. If you are lucky enough you may even get the highway salute. Changing lanes without checking or signalling usually coincides with driving at this speed.

"Look at that jackass driving the Alberta speed limit! No wonder my insurance is 300 dollars more a month here."
"I got to get to Tim Hortons man. I'll be driving the Alberta speed limit to beat the rush."
"Had to do that yesterday so I wasn't late for work, but an alberta road block screwed me over."
"The Alberta speed limit makes trips from Red Deer to Edmonton feel like only an hour."
"It was only an hour dumbass, you were going 140."
