Yeah, but when cruising, I like to enjoy the scenery, you know mostly
birds.
now, if I'm DRIVING. the limit is the red line.

In some areas, yes. But it's still up to the individual states to set the
max on any section. Example; here near my home town, a new section of
the Interstate was built to replace an older, over crowded stretch, and
to by-pass the now built up area. The old was two lanes each direction
and a 60 MPH limit. The new is 4-6 lanes each direction with longer
exit/entrance ramps, etc. Speed limit? 55MPH. Go figure
