Roads really should be useable for all traffic, if its designed for one
type of vehicle, Im guessing that folks dont keep to the 45/50MPH as US
has so few speed cameras, and well big road lots of lanes, it will feel
safe to drive quite a lot faster.
Is a road like that near me minus the strip malls, that used to have speed >cameras ie fixed ones, though that just ment folks panic braked at them, so >average speed cameras have been installed which have calmed it down, and
its a much more pleasant road to drive on now.
Would appear that this is some E scooter than has run into the back of
bike, and since the cyclist is dead only have her word on it, though really >if you run into the back of someone very difficult to make any defence of >your driving/riding.
Id take a stab and suggest she wasnt traveling at 20mph the speed limit
for Florida Im also guessing they arent physically limited to that.

"20mph the speed limit for Florida?????" No such thing on streets and
roads.
In suspect the speed limit on that section of Dale Mabry is 50 MPH. I
suspect also, the average driving speed is much faster. Been a while
since I was there. Many restaurants and strip malls with vehicles
entering and leaving and jockeying for lanes changes.

Was a E Scooter crashing into a bike, no car etc involved if you read the >article.
So the speed limit wouldnt be the posted limit on the roads but the
maximum that a e-scooter in Florida is supposed to do, which apparently is >20mph, which personally I feel is touch high for any of these active travel >type things ie something that might be expected legally or otherwise to be >used on pavement or other shared spaces and so on.

It all depends on the nature of the scooter. It's not a speed limit,
but the power must be shut off when it reaches a certain speed. For
some scooters, that's 28 MPH and for others, it's 30. If a person can
pedal it at 30+ MPH, there's no law against it.
I didn't see what type of scooter was in that cite.
