A few years back someone from DOT hired some mainland engineers to do
an analysis of our freeways for speed limits, etc. Their findings, in a nut shell,
was that the speed limits, at 55 were too slow for the roads. They actually
do have portions at 60 but that is it. Long story short - they didn't agree so
ignored the findings. Usually people go about 65 with no problems except
here there are plenty who insist on driving in the left lane at whatever speed
they choose which is usually slow so everyone passes them on the right.
This is on Oahu - the other islands have no freeways so traffic can be a bear.
