The big holdup for raising speed limits is financial. Federal highway funds get cut off if a state raises speed limits above certain levels. That's also how the .08% DUI law was adopted in all 50 states.

The original post by OP referred to Autobahn type highways with no speed limits for at least portions of the highway (since edited). Not just increasing speed limits - eliminating them. That’s why a lot of the posts say what they say.
