Ethics is two things. First, ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.
If you mean the average speed limit, it's probably 65 MPH. In 1995 Congress repealed the national speed limit of 55 and it is now up to states again to determine the limits. About 30 states have limits of 70 MPH or higher. A few Western states have no speed limits on certain stretches of highway.
The first maximum speed limit was the 10 mph (16 km/h) limit introduced in the United Kingdom in 1861. The highest posted speed limit in the world is 140 km/h (87 mph), which applies to some roads in Poland and Bulgaria; similarly Texas posts 85 mph (137 km/h) on one 40-mile (64 km) long toll road. However, some roads have no speed limit for certain classes of vehicles.
