The US is very lax about enforcing speed laws compared to other countries.

Compare to somewhere like Australia where you get fined for just going a few km/h over the limit and the use speed cameras extensively.

Whereas it seems to be common in parts of the US for everyone on a freeway to be 10 miles/hour over the limit and nobody cares

What is the Australian citizen’s sentiment toward these speed laws?

And what are the limits on a typical freeway?

I'm not from Australia (in NZ) but I'd expect the usual range of views. However fines are a voluntary payment to usually attract less opposition

Typical limits are here. 100 km/h on most freeways, 100km/h on ones built to higher standards.
